"David Pastrnak knows what it's like to find the back of the net. A lot. The 29-year-old star winger has already reached the 40-goal mark five times in his NHL career - including a 61-goal campaign in 2022-23. Pastrnak might have an extensive track record of splintering opposing defenses by way of his blistering one-timer, especially on the power play."
""He has everything to score 50 [goals] in this league," Pastrnak said of Morgan Geekie on Tuesday. "I keep telling him, keep reminding him he has a heck of a shot, and he has the goal-scorer instinct. So, he's gonna get it one day. The shot that he has, it's amazing. It's the best on our team." It's a lofty claim from Pastrnak, even if the Bruins forward is well-versed when it comes to lighting the lamp."
"In Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Islanders, the 27-year-old winger uncorked a shot on the power play that rocketed past Ilya Sorokin - a 95.68 mph bullet that stands as the fastest shot on goal so far this season across the NHL. And on Thursday, Geekie once again found twine on the power play against the Sabres - marking his sixth-straight game with a goal."
Morgan Geekie has emerged as a premier shooter for the Boston Bruins, earning high praise for his shot and goal-scoring instincts. Geekie fired a 95.68 mph power-play shot past Ilya Sorokin, the fastest shot on goal this NHL season. Geekie scored in six straight games and has nine goals in 13 games, projecting to 57 goals over an 82-game season. Geekie followed a 33-goal breakout campaign and has exceeded expectations despite earlier skepticism about regression. David Pastrnak singled out Geekie's shot as the best on the team and predicted further scoring growth.
