Overview
- The Bruins announced during the game that Morgan Geekie left to attend to a family matter and did not return.
- Sturm described Geekie’s situation as a family emergency and said the forward could be available on a game-time basis Sunday.
- Boston also ruled Elias Lindholm out with a lower-body injury, which Sturm labeled precautionary due to nagging issues with possible Sunday availability.
- The Bruins closed out a 10-2 victory over New York, powered by four goals from Marat Khusnutdinov, a Pavel Zacha hat trick, and six assists from David Pastrnak.
- Geekie leads Boston with 25 goals in 45 games this season, heightening short-term lineup questions if either top-six forward is unavailable.
