Geekie knows how to get open. It is a critical skill the Boston Bruins wing has mastered on his journey to becoming an elite goal scorer.

The Boston Bruins have been a surprise team this season, and forward Morgan Geekie is a big reason why. Geekie signed a six-year, $33 million extension with the Bruins the day before free agency opened up.

Barrett Hayton put Utah on the board first, beating Jeremy Swayman through traffic with 12:26 left in the first. Morgan Geekie snapped his season-long three-game goal drought with 3:59 left in the first. His 23rd goal of the season came on the power play and tied the game 1-1 after the first.

Geekie scored two goals, one on the power play and the other the game-winner, in Tuesday's 4-1 victory over the Mammoth.

Boston Bruins forward Morgan Geekie is making waves, impressing teammates like David Pastrnak with his consistent scoring and strong play. Geekie's unexpected goal-scoring surge, now at 24 goals, is a key factor in the Bruins' success.

Morgan Geekie has steadily gained recognition among Bruins fans for his speed, agility, and strategic thinking on the ice. His ability to contribute effectively to the team’s offensive play has made him an invaluable asset.

Geekie, who does not kill penalties, is best suited for top-six duty. The Canadians would have to value Geekie’s goal-scoring above all else to bring him to the Winter Games as a second- or third-line wing.

Is Geekie becoming a superstar or just playing like one.

Bruins goalie Jeremy Swayman wasn't tasked with the biggest workload of his life Tuesday night at TD Garden. In fact, his 20 saves were the fewest he's needed in a winning effort this season, beating his Oct. 11 win over the Sabres by one save. But when the Bruins needed a key stop, their No. 1 ace in goal was there.
