As much as there was no doubt that Morgan Geekie was mired in a slump as he went 12 straight games without a goal, it is abundantly clear that stretch of futility is now over for Boston’s resident sniper.

BOSTON — Sunday was always a game Morgan Geekie was likely to remember. For starters, the Bruins forward scored two goals. After scoring just once in the previous 14 games, scoring twice is reason to hope that his slump might be behind him.

Geekie scored two power-play goals, including the game-winning tally, placed three shots on net and dished out two hits in Saturday's 4-3 win over Montreal.

From one goalscorer to another, Cam Neely gave some useful advice to Morgan Geekie

A good, old fashioned, weird goal.

Morgan Geekie scored two of three Boston Bruins power-play goals in a 4-3 comeback win against the Montreal Canadiens at TD Garden in Boston on Saturday. Charlie McAvoy had three assists, Fraser Minten had a goal and an assist, and Jeremy Swayman made 22 saves for Boston (30-20-2), which has won consecutive games, and eight of nine.

Boston Bruins star forward Morgan Geekie left the team's Jan. 10 contest against the New York Rangers early due to a family matter. He also did not play during the team's following game against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Jan. 11. Now, Geekie has shared the reason for his absence, and it is certainly very good news for No. 39 and his family.

Charlie McAvoy pushed the puck over to Geekie by the left point, where he ripped it home for the final 4-3 scoreline at 14:07, and his 28th tally of the year, which is a team-high. It also marked Geekie’s 100th career goal and gave him the lead for most PPG on the Bruins with 10.
