Pastrnak expects Geekie to reach 50 goals after scoring eight early this season, building on last year’s 33 goals with the Boston Bruins.
- Following Geekie's early-season scoring, Pastrnak said `I think he has everything to score 50 in this league,` after Thursday's game against the Islanders.
- Because he finished last season strongly, Morgan Geekie scored 33 goals, 30 after Dec. 2, and signed a six-year deal worth $5.5 million a season this summer.
- Coach Marco Sturm moved Marat Khusnutdinov to the top line with Pastrnak and Elias Lindholm, pairing Morgan Geekie with Fraser Minten and Tanner Jeannot, whose speed pushes Geekie offensively.
- In the latest game, Morgan Geekie continued his scoring streak while David Pastrnak recorded a goal and an assist in the Bruins' win, and Geekie entered Thursday with eight goals.
- Sturm and teammates say last season's late scoring surge and Geekie's time with Pastrnak boosted his confidence and scoring chances this year.
