Morgan Geekie was mired in no-man’s land just a few months ago.
One of many Bruins regulars riding the momentum of a breakout campaign in 2023-24, the 26-year-old forward went from lineup regular to a healthy scratch just six weeks into the new campaign.
By the time Jim Montgomery was handed his pink slip on Nov. 19, Geekie had been scratched in five of Boston’s first 20 games — with the forward limited to just one goal over his 15 appearances.
What a difference a few months can make.
Once on the outside looking in at Boston’s impotent forward corps, Geekie has emerged as the team’s go-to sniper over the past month — complementing a top line featuring David Pastrnak and Pavel Zacha thanks to a nose for the net and a sharp wrist shot.
