With the postseason right around the corner and the Boston Bruins right in the thick of the Eastern Conference playoff race, it’s time for Morgan Geekie to rediscover his scoring touch. Geekie has already set career-highs in goals (34) and points (63) this season, which is impressive considering he hasn’t scored a goal since March 5 against the Nashville Predators. For those keeping score, that’s a 17-game scoring drought.
Geekie has improved in each of his three seasons in a Bruins uniform, but the raw totals won’t mean much if he remains a non-factor in the scoring department when the games matter most. His scoring woes aren’t due to a lack of trying and undoubtedly, nobody is more frustrated than Geekie is with how things have gone as of late.
It’s fair to say the Bruins have been playing above their weight class all season long, and this season has been a success no matter the outcome. That said, expectations are fluid and the preseason expectations for this team are far different than the present-day ones. At this point, missing the Stanley Cup Playoffs, though unlikely, would be disappointing. Because of this, the Bruins will need their best players to be their best.
