Swayman leads the Bruins past the Red Wings 3-2 in a shootout

By Canadian Press on November 29, 2025.

BOSTON (AP) — Jeremy Swayman stopped all three shots he faced in the shootout, and the Boston Bruins beat the Detroit Red Wings 3-2 on Saturday night.

Morgan Geekie scored two goals for Boston in regulation. He is tied with Colorado’s Nathan MacKinnon for the NHL lead with 20 goals this season.

Geekie’s second goal of the game came on the power play and broke a 1-1 tie in the third period.

Swayman made 24 saves through overtime, and Elias Lindholm had two assists. Casey Mittelstadt tallied Boston’s lone goal in the shootout.

After allowing six goals in a home loss to the New York Rangers on Friday, Boston limited Detroit to 26 shots and killed off five power-play chances for the Red Wings.

Detroit trailed 2-1 before Michael Rasmussen scored during a 6-on-5 situation with 1:54 remaining in regulation.

Lucas Raymond scored his eighth goal for Detroit at 6:38 of the third. Raymond extended his point streak to five games.

Cam Talbot made 17 saves for the Red Wings in their fourth consecutive loss.
