BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) --- Morgan Geekie bounced in a shot from beyond center as
part of Boston's three-goal second-period surge and the Bruins beat the Buffalo
Sabres 4-2 to even their first-round playoff series at 1 on Tuesday night.
Viktor Arvidsson scored twice and Pavel Zacha also scored. David Pastrnak had
two assists to give him five points in the series and tie Bobby Orr for eighth
on the Bruins career playoff list with 92 points.
Jeremy Swayman stopped 32 shots, and this time Boston managed to not blow a
multigoal third-period lead.
Bowen Byram and Peyton Krebs scored 1:14 apart to cut Boston's lead to 4-2 with
4:52 remaining in regulation before being stymied by Swayman, who stopped the
final eight shots he faced.
The Sabres opened the series with a 4-3 win in which they overcame a 2-0
third-period deficit by scoring four times in the final 7:58 of regulation on
Sunday.
The series shifts to Boston for Game 3 on Thursday night.
