After opening Saturday’s matinee matchup against the Coyotes on the fourth line, Morgan Geekie is set to skate alongside David Pastrnak and Jake DeBrusk in Boston’s upcoming road matchup in Newark.
An in-game, top-six promotion for Geekie against Arizona will carry over into this week, with Jim Montgomery announcing on Tuesday that both Pavel Zacha and Charlie McAvoy have not been cleared to play in Wednesday’s primetime meeting with the New Jersey Devils.
“They’re not game-ready for tomorrow,” Montgomery said of Zacha and McAvoy. “We’ll see after that. Day by day again.”

Zacha missed the final two periods of Saturday’s 5-3 win over the Coyotes due to an upper-body ailment.
