EDGE Analysis

Geekie has three points over four contests in December. The 20-year-old played on the second line at even strength in this contest, contributing one of four goals for the Lightning in the third period. His ice time still fluctuates a bit, as does his overall role, but he's been able to maintain a spot in the middle six. Geekie is up to five goals, four assists, 36 shots on net, 44 hits, 12 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating over 27 appearances.

Geekie had a goal and an assist in an 8-1 win over San Jose on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

He earned the game's third star for his effort. Geekie had gone five games without a point prior to this burst. The young forward has four goals, four assists and 29 shots in 24 contests this season. Geekie is averaging 12:51 this season, but he played a season-high 16:14 on Thursday. His ice time is trending up over the last four games, and that speaks to his coach's growing confidence in his game. Geekie sits behind Brayden Point and Anthony Cirelli, so he's not going up the lineup any time soon. But more ice time almost always presents more opportunities, even on a scoring third line.

Geekie had a goal and an assist in a 7-6 overtime loss to the Blue Jackets on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

It was the first two-point NHL game of his young career. Geekie found twine on the power play mid-way through the third to knot the game 6-6. He has points in back-to-back games (one goal, two assists). Geekie has six points, including three goals, 23 shots, 23 hits, eight blocks, one power-play goal and one game-winning goal in 18 games thus far. His fantasy value is limited, but this rookie will become a consistent top-six forward in future years.

Geekie logged an assist and three hits in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

Geekie snapped a six-game slump with the secondary helper on Brayden Point's overtime tally. The 20-year-old Geekie is doing well to hold onto a middle-six role as a rookie. The offense is yet to come though -- he has four points, 20 shots on net, 21 hits, six PIM and a plus-1 rating over 17 appearances. Dynasty managers will want to hold onto the promising forward, but he doesn't need to be on the radar in redraft leagues.

Geekie scored a goal on two shots in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Just two games after his first NHL goal, Geekie deposited the first game-winner of his career. The 20-year-old has gotten off to a modest start with three points, 10 shots on net, 11 hits, six blocked shouts, four PIM and a plus-1 rating over his first 10 NHL contests. The Lightning's forward depth has been lackluster, so Geekie should continue to feature in a middle-six role at even strength while also being a factor on the second power-play unit, though he could grow into a larger role as the season progresses.

EDGE Analysis

After dominating the preseason, Geekie has found the regular season a lot harder to handle. He has one goal, one assist, six shots and seven hits through eight outings. Geekie has always had great hands and showed off his quick release on a one-timer from the high slot for his first NHL goal in Saturday's contest. He's the Bolts' top young player, and his future is in the top six.

Geekie logged an assist and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 8-5 win over the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

It took Geekie six games to earn his first career point, which was a primary helper on the second of Brandon Hagel's three goals in the second period. Geekie has added three shots on net, six hits, four PIM and an even plus-minus rating so far. The 20-year-old forward has held down a middle-six role, and while dynasty managers will want to hold onto him, he's yet to do enough to be a factor in redraft formats.

While his suspension may not have a significant impact considering it's just the preseason, Geekie needs every available minute to impress team brass in the hopes of securing a roster spot for Opening Night against the Hurricanes on Oct. 11.
