Jeremy Swayman shuts door in shootout as Bruins edge Red Wings
Jeremy Swayman topped off a 24-save effort with three straight stops in a shootout, leading the Boston Bruins to a 3-2 win over the visiting Detroit Red Wings in the front end of the Atlantic Division rivals' home-and-home series on Saturday night.
Jeremy Swayman stopped all three shots he faced in the shootout, and the Boston Bruins beat the Detroit Red Wings 3-2.
BOSTON -- Morgan Geekie scored twice for the Boston Bruins, who recovered for a 3-2 shootout win against the Detroit Red Wings at TD Garden on Saturday. Geekie has scored eight goals in his past six games and has 20 on the season, which is tied with Nathan MacKinnon of the Colorado Avalanche for the NHL lead.
Brandon Hagel scored two goals as the surging Tampa Bay Lightning extended their winning streak to seven games with a 4-1 victory Saturday over the New York Rangers, who continued their home woes.
Trevor Zegras was already the NHL's all-time best shootout scorer before Friday night. But he figured he might as well raise that record, not come back toward the pack. The Philadelphia Flyers took on the New York Islanders and were tied 3-3 after overtime. That set up Zegras to show off his magic. He went slow, slow, slow and then sped up.
A lot changed in the NHL following the season-long lockout in 2004-05. For goaltenders, the most significant change was the introduction of the shootout.

Jake Allen made 42 saves for the New Jersey Devils in a 5-0 win against the Buffalo Sabres at KeyBank Center on Friday. Arseny Gritsyuk scored twice, and Brenden Dillon and Paul Cotter each had a goal and an assist for the Devils (16-7-1),
