"Perhaps Morgan Geekie just knows how to score goals now. That's the simplest rationalization for the 27-year-old's unexpected transformation into one of the NHL's premier goal-scorers. Through 33 games, Geekie was second in the NHL with 24 goals, trailing only the dominant Nathan MacKinnon of the Colorado Avalanche (28). Going back to last season, Geekie is tied for 11th in goals scored (57)."
"When Geekie was around 10 years old, a cousin taught him how to speed solve a Rubik's Cube. While some have never found a way to line up that mosaic of colors despite years of trying, Geekie said it's doable once one cracks the code. One summer at their lake cottage, his cousin wrote down its patterns. Geekie spent two weeks memorizing them and working out solutions while fiddling with the cube."
Morgan Geekie can finish a Rubik's Cube in under a minute and learned speed solving from a cousin, memorizing patterns and algorithms as a child. The 27-year-old transformed into one of the NHL's premier goal-scorers, recording 24 goals through 33 games and 33 goals in 2024-25. He shot 22% in 2024-25, far exceeding his previous career best of 13.1% in 2023-24. The 33-goal total represented a 16-goal increase from his prior career high. Going back to last season, Geekie is tied for 11th in goals scored (57).
