Geekie, 20, has appeared in 39 games this season with the Bolts, where he has five goals, 11 points, and a plus-1 rating.

Geekie is one of the Lightning’s most promising youngsters but has been going through a major cold stretch. He has just one point over his last nine games.

We will now need to wait and see how Geekie responds to being scratched once he gets back into the Lightning’s lineup from here.
