He's up to four points, five shots on net, 13 hits, four PIM and a plus-2 rating through eight appearances.

He has four points, including three goals, in his last five games and seven points, including four goals, in eight games this season. Sure, that puts him behind his pace from the last two seasons, but we're confident in the 28-year-old. He's elite.

Impact After dominating the preseason, Geekie has found the regular season a lot harder to handle. He now has one goal and one assist, along with six shots and seven hits in eight contests. Geekie has always had great hands, and he showed off his quick release on a one-timer from the high slot Saturday. He's the Bolts' top young player, and his future is in the top-six.

Andrei Vasilevskiy - Third straight loss Vasilevskiy made 14 saves in a 4-2 loss to the Wild on Thursday.

The first two were seam passes through the crease that were converted on one timers. The other was a feed from the corner to Joel Eriksson-Ek one-timed through Vasilevskiy from the top of the crease. Vasilevskiy has lost three consecutive games after winning his first three contests. He allowed 12 goals (.797 save percentage) in his last three games after he allowed just five goals (.931) in his first three games. There will always be ebbs and flows in the season. Vasilevskiy will settle into a groove soon.
