BUFFALO — Morgan Geekie, proud son of Manitoba farm country, has found both a home and his goal-scoring touch of late, firing on the Bruins’ top-producing line with Czech standouts Pavel Zacha at center and David Pastrnak at right wing.

The Bruins are set to receive a lift in the coming days, as Hampus Lindholm and Charlie McAvoy were regular participants in practice Monday.

The Bruins have not had Lindholm and McAvoy anchoring their D corps together since the former suffered a lower-body injury on Nov. 12 against the Blues.

Morgan Geekie knows he's been given a great chance to play with David Pastrnak. Now the two are bringing out the best in each other.

Boston Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy is still recovering from an undisclosed injury with no set return date.
