Strong Second Period Allows Bruins to Level Series with Sabres
Viktor Arvidsson scored twice and Jeremy Swayman made 32 saves as Boston built a 4-0 lead and held on late.
- On Tuesday night, the Boston Bruins evened their first-round playoff series against the Buffalo Sabres with a 4-2 victory in Buffalo, N.Y., led by Morgan Geekie's contribution to a three-goal second-period surge.
- Buffalo entered the game with momentum after overcoming a 2-0 third-period deficit in Sunday's 4-3 win, while Bills quarterback Josh Allen energized the crowd by leading "Let's go, Buffalo!" chants before puck drop.
- Viktor Arvidsson scored twice and Pavel Zacha added a power-play goal, driving Sabres goaltender Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen from the game; coach Lindy Ruff replaced him with Alex Lyon after Arvidsson's second goal 16 seconds into the third period.
- Late goals by Bowen Byram and Peyton Krebs cut the lead to 4-2, but Bruins goaltender Jeremy Swayman secured the win by stopping 32 shots, preventing a repeat of the multigoal collapse from Game 1.
- Game 3 shifts to Boston on Thursday night, where Buffalo must address an anemic power play after going 0-of-5 on Tuesday and 0-of-9 across the first two games of the series.
