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.

For this matchup against the Sabres, the Bruins' forward group will be getting a boost. This is because forward Cole Koepke will be back in the lineup after missing each of the Bruins' last five games.

The Sabres return home for an Atlantic Division showdown. The Buffalo Sabres face the Boston Bruins on Tuesday at KeyBank Center, aiming to put their 1-3-0 road trip, which ended with a 3-2 loss Saturday in Edmonton, behind them.

The Bruins currently sit on the cusp of a playoff spot, but they have played more games than their opponents, and Brad Marchand's name has come up in trade talks.

Due to the Bruins' placement in the standings, president Cam Neely said the team is considering two paths for the trade deadline: buying or retooling. If the Bruins decide to go down the buying route, they have three needs they could try to fix. Let's discuss each of them now.
