The Boston Bruins have locked in center Morgan Geekie to a six-year contract extension worth $33 million total, according to TSN’s Chris Johnston. This extension confirms Geekie’s future role with the Bruins following his impressive performance last season.

Strong Performance Highlights Geekie’s Value

Dressed in 77 games for Boston, Geekie produced 33 goals and added 24 assists, reaching 57 points and ranking second on the team for scoring. Alongside his offensive contributions, he accumulated 22 penalty minutes and held a plus-three rating, reflecting his overall impact on the ice.

Career Progress and Background

Drafted by the Carolina Hurricanes in the third round of the 2017 NHL Draft, the 26-year-old from Strathclair, Manitoba, has played 333 NHL games across three teams: Carolina Hurricanes, Seattle Kraken, and Boston Bruins. Over his career, Geekie has recorded 72 goals and 87 assists, totaling 159 points. His two seasons with the Bruins have marked personal bests, including 57 points last season and 39 points in the current campaign, alongside 10 points in 37 Stanley Cup Playoff games.

Contract and Career History

Geekie was entering the final year of his previous two-year contract valued at $2 million annually. He joined Boston as an unrestricted free agent in the 2023 offseason after Seattle Kraken opted not to issue a qualifying offer. Prior to his NHL career, Geekie gained significant experience in the AHL, playing 130 games with 45 goals and 48 assists. He was a key contributor to the Charlotte Checkers’ 2018-19 Calder Cup championship run, scoring eight goals and ten assists in 19 playoff games.

Looking Ahead for the Bruins

The Bruins finished the 2024-25 season with a disappointing 33-39-10 record, placing second-last in the Eastern Conference, and missing the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the first time since 2016. Geekie’s contract extension represents a step toward rebuilding and strengthening the roster as Boston aims to return to playoff contention.
