Mixed Bag: Swayman Struggles, Geekie Explodes in Bruins OT Loss to Hurricanes

Boston Bruins rally late but fall short in overtime against the Carolina Hurricanes as Morgan Geekie's hat trick snaps his goal drought. Can the Bruins regain momentum before playoff time with Jeremy Swayman showing rare vulnerability in net and the offense suddenly igniting?

Special teams’ struggles and Boston’s current playoff positioning raise critical questions about their postseason readiness. Charlie McAvoy’s selection as the Bruins’ Masterton Trophy nominee for perseverance caps the show, underscoring the blend of adversity and resilience defining Boston’s campaign.
