A shift-by-shift review of Conor Geekie’s first NHL game

One of the more heralded Tampa Bay Lightning prospects of the last few years made his NHL debut last Friday against the Carolina Hurricanes. Conor Geekie, the 20-year-old forward who worked his way onto the opening night roster with a strong training camp skated in an NHL game that counted for the first time in his career. On the night he had 14 shifts and totaled 10:07 of ice time with 8:56 coming at even strength and 1:11 of power play time. Despite being heralded for his defensive acumen, he did register a shift shorthanded.

He wasn’t credited with a shot attempts or scoring chance and went 2-for-8 in the face-off dot.
