"I think it's just a great example of playing 'til the last whistle." The post Morgan Geekie: ‘My dad would be proud’ of last-second goal against Avs appeared first on Boston.com.

David Pastrnak had a goal and an assist to help the Boston Bruins rally for a 5-2 victory over the New York Islanders.

Thanks to a goal from Morgan Geekie on their first shot of the night, the Bruins started Monday's showdown with the Senators as well as they could have. They also ended it as poorly as they could have, though, as the Bruins surrendered seven straight goals on the way to an ugly, 7-2 blowout loss in Ottawa.

Geekie’s tally proved critical. The Avalanche scored a late goal with their goalie pulled, but the Bruins held on for a 3-2 victory, ending their six-game losing streak, while dealing Colorado its first regular-season loss.

The Boston Bruins allowed seven goals at home in a loss to the Anaheim Ducks, as a difficult stretch continues.

While the Boston Bruins trailed the New York Islanders 2-0 on Tuesday at TD Garden, there was a strong belief up and down the lineup that a comeback was brewing. The B’s were right, and five unanswered goals in the ensuing 40 minutes earned them a 5-2 victory.
