Not me, that&#8217;s for sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Boston Bruins centre has 20 goals so far, good for second entering play on Dec. 4. That&#8217;s on pace to shatter his previous career high of 33, which he set last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-&gt; <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNjY1NzMyJnA9MzExMjU%3D\">See Thursday&#8217;s player prop markets at NorthStar Bets<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Geekie is probably due for some regression given his sky-high shooting percentage (26.7%), but I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;ll happen tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The St. Louis Blues are basement dwellers for a few reasons, and Binnington is high on that list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>3.20 GAA (45th)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>.878 SV% (48th)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Geekie has played his last three games without Davis Pastrnak, who is injured, and that hasn&#8217;t slowed him down.
