Notes: Morgan Geekie scored a first-period goal — his third tally in five games — that staked the Bruins to a 1-0 lead on Wednesday, but the Devils’ four-goal middle frame was Boston’s downfall. “We’re trying to find an answer here and what we’re doing isn’t good enough. We know it,” Geekie said. “It’s embarrassing, frankly, just the way that we’re letting these games slip away.” … Another David Pastrnak-Pavel Zacha connection set up the Bruins’ lone goal. Pastrnak has 12 of his 54 points in the past five games. … Boston allowed three power-play goals in a game for the seventh time this season, and the Bruins yielded 35 or more shots for the sixth time in the past eight contests — including 44 shots by Ottawa on Saturday … Bruins goaltender Jeremy Swayman was pulled after two periods in New Jersey, having allowed four goals on 29 shots. He has managed a .912 save percentage over his past 12 starts (4-6-2). … Rookie goaltender Leevi Merilainen’s strong play in place of Linus Ullmark (back) has been important of late for Ottawa, especially given the team’s struggles to score at times. Merilainen is 6-3-1 with a 2.32 goals-against average and a .914 save percentage in 10 games.

Gray, acquired in a November trade from the St. Louis Cardinals, was one of Boston’s key rotation additions, along with Ranger Suarez, in the offseason. He was 14-8 with a 4.28 ERA in 2025.
“He’s very specific about his work. Every day has a purpose,” Red Sox manager Alex Cora said of Gray. “Two hundred strikeouts, that’s something that we were looking for. The competitor. Every five days, this guy is going to give you everything.”
In his five career appearances against the Reds, Gray is 1-3 with a 4.18 ERA.
“It’s pretty much one of the only things that is continuing to push me, is to get to a World Series, to win a World Series, to pitch in big games,” said Gray. “I love the moment, and I am chasing that moment.”
