David Pastrnak Shares Lofty Prediction For Bruins’ Morgan Geekie

Boston Bruins star winger David Pastrnak has made a bold prediction for Morgan Geekie.

Geekie has become an impact player for the Bruins, posting career years in each of his first two seasons with Boston. With Geekie off to a hot start, Pastrnak believes the star forward will score 50+ goals in a season before his career is over.

“He has everything to score 50 in this league,” Pastrnak said on Tuesday, via WEEI’s Scott McLaughlin. “I keep reminding him, he has a heck of a shot and goal-scoring instincts.

“He’s going to get it one day. The shot he has is amazing, the best on our team. We just need to keep getting him the opportunities and reminding him to shoot more.”

Geekie has eight goals in 12 games this season and is off to a hot start. His career high is 33, set last season.

The 27-year-old is in the first year of his six-year, $33 million deal with the Bruins.

Pastrnak knows what it takes to get to 50 goals in a season, as the Bruins superstar recorded 61 goals in 2022-23. He’s also had 40+ goals five times in his career, but he believes Geekie is a better goal scorer than him.

The Bruins are off to a 5-7-0 start and will host the Buffalo Sabres on Thursday at 7 p.m. ET.
