So, ahead of the matchup, Bruins forward Morgan Geekie said it’s a crucial game for the team to clinch and get a bit of a reset before the playoffs.

“I think it kind of speaks for itself,” Geekie said after practice on Friday. “Just the magnitude of these games and how important they are to getting off on the right foot. We’re kind of just focused on tomorrow.

We know we can kind of control our own destiny. “Just try to put ourselves in a position to play a good, solid 60 minutes. I think for us to win the next game and just take a deep breath and kind of reset before the playoffs would be great.
