""Obviously it's been on my mind for a while because it's very unpredictable," said Geekie after the morning skate. "But my wife's a champ and she was great. It's tough to get that out of your mind especially when things are at the forefront. It's good everybody's healthy and just looking to get back to it.""
""We kind of snuck out of here, but it was good," said Geekie. "Obviously a long couple of days but it's good to be back here and be back with the guys. Obviously I've gotten a lot of texts. It seemed pretty somber at the start but it was good. We're happy with how things ended up and just excited everyone's healthy.""
""When he left the game after the first period, I could hear the guys all clapping. It was sad to see him leave but we know the importance of family," said coach Marco Sturm."
Morgan Geekie left a Boston Bruins matinee after the first period when his wife Emma went into labor. Emma and Morgan welcomed a healthy eight-pound son named Max, who joins sister Gabby. Geekie missed Sunday’s game and was scheduled to return Tuesday against the Red Wings. Team members and coach Marco Sturm showed support and applauded the family-first decision. The Bruins delivered a dominant 10-2 win over the Rangers following the events. Geekie entered Tuesday carrying a nine-game goal drought, and the family arrival provided relief knowing everyone was healthy.
