The Bruins handed Colorado its first regulation loss, overcoming an early 1-0 deficit as Viktor Arvidsson and Mikey Eyssimont scored within a 39-second span in the first period.
Morgan Geekie then netted the eventual game-winner with five seconds left in the middle frame, beating a defender to a loose puck behind the net and stuffing it short-side. He has goals in three straight games and a team-leading six this season.

Notes: After defenseman Hampus Lindholm landed on injured reserve Sunday, the Bruins recalled Jonathan Aspirot from AHL affiliate Providence. He awaits his NHL debut. Jordan Harris, meanwhile, will be out “a bit” and could have surgery to repair a lower-body injury, Sturm said. … Mason Lohrei assisted on all three Bruins goals Saturday. … Ottawa is coming off a dominant 7-1 win Saturday at Washington, the Senators’ second straight victory and third in the last five games (3-1-1). Dylan Cozens and Drake Batherson each had two goals and an assist in that game for the Senators, who outshot Washington 34-13 and handed Alex Ovechkin a lopsided defeat in his 1,500th game. … Ottawa has played the last two weeks without captain Brady Tkachuk, who had thumb surgery following an injury in the Oct. 13 home opener. Though he is expected to miss 6-8 weeks, Tkachuk participated in Saturday’s morning skate in a non-contact jersey. … The Senators have allowed just five goals in three games after giving up 30 through the first six contests.
