Morgan Geekie’s scoring touch has arrived at the perfect time for the Bruins.
After a rough start to the 2026-27 season in which the puck just wasn’t going in for him, Geekie has now scored in four straight games, including Sunday’s 4-1 win over the Florida Panthers at TD Garden. That goal streak has lined up neatly with Boston’s own four-game winning streak, and the timing couldn’t be much better for a team that needs offense wherever it can find it.
Geekie said the recent surge has been less about some dramatic shift and more about getting back to the right spots and taking the right looks.
"I think it's just opportunity,'' said Geekie, per BostonBruins.com. "I think I was passing up a few to begin with.
I also think lately I've been finding myself on that left side where I like to be, and I've had a few shots on the power play. You just try to find those little spots that I think you maybe get away from when you're not getting shots, and you try to get them back.
My whole doesn't change a lot when things aren't going in.''
That run started on Halloween in dramatic fashion. With Boston down 4-3 to the Chicago Blackhawks and just 12 seconds left, Geekie blasted home a slap shot to force overtime. Elias Lindholm then finished the job in the extra session, and the Bruins have been rolling ever since.
The line combinations have helped, too. Geekie has been building chemistry with center Fraser Minten on the second line, and against Florida he skated with Mikey Eyssimont on the other wing after Eyssimont was called up from the Providence Bruins in the American Hockey League (AHL) on Saturday morning, following James Hagens being placed on injured reserve.
Eyssimont made his presence felt right away, scoring Boston’s second goal of the first period at even strength. Geekie then added a power-play goal to cap the Bruins’ three-goal opening frame.
Boston has already weathered Geekie’s early-season drought, but if he keeps producing like this, the Bruins get that much harder to handle. Thursday night’s home game against the Montreal Canadiens will be the next test.

Bruins Rivalry Loss Exposed A Frustration Fans Cant Ignore
A rivalry game at TD Garden brought out the kind of edge Boston fans expected, but the Bruins were left chasing the night after Montreal took control and never really gave it back. Kirby Dach scored the go-ahead goal, Jacob Fowler stopped 30 shots, and the Canadiens rolled to a 5-2 win behind scoring from Josh Anderson, Jake Evans, Cole Caufield and Phillip Danault, while Casey Mittelstadt supplied both Boston goals.
For the Bruins, the loss was a reminder that the margin against a top Eastern Conference opponent can disappear quickly when the game tilts the wrong way. Montreal moved to 12-3-4 and into second place in the conference, while Boston slipped to 13-5-1 and fifth, a standings swing that only adds to the frustration of dropping a rivalry game at home.
