Early in the second period, Geekie tied the game by poking in a loose puck after a shot from Andrew Peeke, marking his 10th goal of the season.

Kuraly then put the Bruins ahead 2-1 with a wrist shot from the low slot that deflected off Bruins’ goalie Ullmark’s shoulder and into the net. This play followed a strategic move where the Senators focused too much on Tanner Jeannot, who then found Kuraly open in front of the goal.
