In a tough matchup on Friday, Geekie managed to score a goal, but his team ultimately fell to the Rangers with a score of 6-2. Despite the loss, Geekie’s performance has been impressive this season, marking him as a player to watch. He has netted 18 goals in just 26 games, showcasing a particularly strong form with six goals in his last five appearances.
The 27-year-old forward has significantly improved from his previous seasons, having recorded 33 goals during the 2024-25 regular season, easily surpassing his former career high of 17. This remarkable achievement came with a shooting percentage of 22.0, a stark contrast to the 10.7 percentage he averaged over 254 games from 2020-21 to 2023-24. While earlier statistics raised concerns about a potential decline in his performance, Geekie has proven to be a consistent scoring threat this season.
Currently, he is tied with Nathan MacKinnon for the NHL goal-scoring lead, demonstrating his prowess in finding the back of the net. However, it is worth noting that Geekie has accumulated only six assists this year, indicating a difference in overall point production compared to top-tier players like MacKinnon. As the season progresses, fans will be eager to see if Geekie can maintain this scoring pace and continue to elevate his play.
