BUFFALO — Morgan Geekie, proud son of Manitoba farm country, has found both a home and his goal-scoring touch of late, firing on the Bruins’ top-producing line with Czech standouts Pavel Zacha at center and David Pastrnak at right wing.

The Boston Bruins have a tough decision to make ahead of the March 7 NHL trade deadline. Do they become sellers and part ways with a few players in an effort to acquire more draft picks and prospects for an offseason re-tool,

The Bruins, who had eight shots on goal through two periods, tied the game 1-1 when Geekie scored 25 seconds into the third period. Geekie then gave the Bruins a 2-1 lead at 5:44. Pastrnak controlled the puck behind the Colorado net, skated around Wedgewood's right side, and found Geekie on the far post for the backdoor tap-in goal.

Geekie had one five-on-five goal when the Bruins dismissed coach Jim Montgomery. In 31 games under Sacco, Geekie has exploded for 12. Geekie has recorded his team-leading 13 five-on-five strikes, three more than Pastrnak, by getting open, going to the front of the net and reading off his linemates well.

Morgan Geekie knows he’s been given a great chance to play with David Pastrnak. Now the two are bringing out the best in each other.

Morgan Geekie's pair of third-period goals helped the Boston Bruins rally for a 3-1 win over the visiting Colorado Avalanche on Saturday afternoon.

The Bruins looked overmatched for two periods, but Morgan Geekie scored two third period goals to lift the B’s to a 3-1 win.
