Bruins Drop Heartbreaker in OT, Despite Geekies Hat Trick

The Boston Bruins secured a point but fell short in a thrilling 6-5 overtime loss to the Carolina Hurricanes. Morgan Geekie stole the show with a hat trick, his first goals in 17 games, while Pavel Zacha and Hampus Lindholm also found the net. Despite leading 3-2 after the first period, the Bruins conceded three quick goals in the second, prompting coach Marco Sturm to replace Jeremy Swayman with Joonas Korpisalo. Korpisalo performed well, stopping 16 of 17 shots, but the Bruins still lost. The teams poor defensive play and lack of protection in front of the net were blamed for the defeat. The Bruins have dropped five of their last eleven road games in overtime, and their playoff odds stand at 98.9% with three games remaining. They host Tampa Bay on Saturday and visit Columbus on Sunday, aiming to reverse their road struggles before the playoffs begin.
