Morgan Geekie is quickly becoming a key player for the Boston Bruins, showcasing his importance with a strong start to the 2025-2026 season. The NHL even issued an announcement recognizing Geekie's impressive performance.

After a slow start to the previous season, Geekie has come out strong this year. As of late October 2025, he is tied for second in league scoring with eight goals, leading all Bruins players. The NHL recognized that Geekie has the most goals in the NHL since January 12th, 2025, with 31 goals. His teammate, David Pastrnak, is right behind him with 30 goals in the same time frame.

Geekie's performance is exceeding expectations, especially considering his new contract. In the off-season, the Bruins' general manager signed Geekie to a six-year, $33 million contract extension. His current performance suggests he is on pace to score 54 goals this season. David Pastrnak believes that Geekie has the potential to score 50 goals in a season, praising his shot and goal-scoring instincts.

Last season, Geekie had a career year, scoring 33 goals and earning the Bruins' Seventh Player Award, an award given to the player who exceeded expectations for the season. On April 5th, he had a standout game against the Carolina Hurricanes, scoring a goal and assisting on four others in a Bruins victory. Overall, he finished the season with 33 goals and 57 points, both career highs. He also recorded his first NHL hat trick on February 29, 2024. On March 23, 2024, Geekie recorded his 100th career NHL point with an assist against the Philadelphia Flyers.

Born on July 20, 1998, the 27-year-old from Strathclair, Manitoba, is proving to be a versatile offensive forward. Drafted by Carolina in 2017, and later acquired by the Bruins as a free agent, Geekie's strengths lie in his offensive instincts and face-off abilities. While his defensive play is still developing, his offensive contributions are undeniable.

After struggling at the start of the 2024-2025 season, where he only recorded two assists in his first 11 games, Geekie turned things around. Following a stint on a line with David Pastrnak, Geekie found his scoring touch and became a regular presence on the first line. By February 22, 2025, he had already surpassed his previous career high with 18 goals. Despite the Bruins not being in playoff contention, Geekie finished the season strong, with a point in 13 of his last 14 games.

With his current trajectory, Morgan Geekie is solidifying his role as a crucial part of the Boston Bruins.
