Bruins’ Morgan Geekie leaves game vs. Rangers to attend to family matter

Amid the Bruins’ blowout victory over the Rangers on Saturday afternoon, Boston lost two top-six forwards over the course of the game.

Boston’s leading goal-scorer Morgan Geekie exited the game after the first period of play and did not return, with the Bruins announcing that Geekie left to attend to a family matter.

Boston’s top-line center Elias Lindholm also left Saturday’s game late in the second period with a lower-body injury.

Speaking after Boston’s eventual 10-2 win over the Rangers, Marco Sturm said that Geekie could be a game-time decision for Sunday evening’s home game against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
