The Bruins enter Game 3 with significant momentum after their 4-2 victory on Tuesday. Viktor Arvidsson was the catalyst in game two, scoring two goals, including an insurance goal in the third period just 16 seconds into the game. Morgan Geekie contributed one of the most talked about goals of the playoffs – a backhand from center ice that skipped over Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen – while Pavel Zacha completed the scoring on the power play.
Thursday night’s game represents a huge opportunity for Boston to take its first series lead with the energy of a raucous TD Garden. Expect a high-intensity battle as the Sabers attempt to regain the advantage on the ice in what has quickly become a physical and unpredictable first-round clash.
