The Geekies had quite a day for themselves on Saturday.

Morgan headed off in the morning to his job as a Boston Bruin for a matinee against the New York Rangers while his wife Emma, deep into her pregnancy, hitched a ride with another player’s wife to the game.

Neither of them finished out the game.

A bit ahead of schedule, Emma went into labor during the game and both she and Morgan had to skedaddle after the first period. Before the day was out, the couple welcomed a healthy, eight-pound baby boy, Max. Geekie missed Sunday’s game as well but he was set to get back in the lineup on Tuesday against the Red Wings.

“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.”

Max joins sister Gabby, and he’ll have a good story to tell one day.

“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.”

Perhaps the good vibes helped his teammates in their most dominant win of the season, the 10-2 shellacking of the Blueshirts.

“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.

“Guys were really happy to see him today. It just shows the character of the team we have in our locker room. It’s been really great and supportive.”

Geekie has been mired in his first goal-scoring slump in a year, having gone nine games without a goal going into Tuesday’s game.

He hoped the adrenaline he was still feeling at the morning skate would translate into an ice-breaker for him.

“I would have liked that 10 games ago but we’ll take what we can get,” said Geekie. “But we’re finding ways to win games, even the last two I haven’t been a part of. The team’s played great and that’s what’s important now going into the (Olympic) break.”

Sturm said the episode is a good glimpse into the lives of players, who have the same everyday worries and concerns that everyone else has.

“Now you can tell, a lot people don’t know what players actually go through. If you have a stretch like this, you have a pregnant wife at home, they had no parents in town…it’s a lot on Morgan, too,” said Sturm. “A lot of people don’t know actually what’s happening (behind the scenes). He’s such a good person but also a good Dad. I’ve seen him. There’s a lot on those players. They’re Dads, too, so that’s why. I’m not worried about him at all. Hopefully, he gets one for his little one today.”….

It’s been a long time coming, but Jordan Harris took the notable step of joining the team for the morning skate a the Garden on Tuesday.

He suffered a broken ankle in the B’s loss to the Florida Panthers on October 21 and the road back has had his starts and stops. But while he remains on long-term injured reserve, he seems to have gotten over a hump in his recovery.

“I’m really happy to be out there, first of all. It’s been a little bit since I’ve seen you guys and since I’ve seen these guys on the ice,” said the Haverhill native, who underwent the first surgery of his career. “There were a couple of things we were trying to figure out with it all but I’m really thankful for our staff that we have here. Throughout the whole process, they’ve been communicating really well.”

After being out for so long, just being with his teammates again was therapeutic.

“It’s huge. It’s so much fun. I felt like every two seconds I was out there, smiling and laughing with the guys, chirping them, they were chirping me. It’s just what you’ve been doing your whole life. It’s great to be back out there, especially on this ice and in this building. It was a really good day,” said the former Northeastern Huskie

It was a tough break for Harris. After Columbus failed to qualify him last summer, the B’s signed him to a one-year deal worth $825,000. Jumping into the lineup for an injured Hampus Lindholm at the time, the 25-year-old Harris was off to a good start with a goal and an assist in five games.

“Since the first day I stepped into Warrior, it’s been an absolute blast,” said Harris. “It’s been a dream come true to play for the Bruins. It was only five games at the beginning of the year, but I didn’t take it for granted. Every single shift, every single game has meant so much to me and my family. And I felt good on the ice. And I do feel good, but I was happy with my start. Hopefully I can get back in a rhythm.”

If every defenseman gets healthy – a big if in this season – the B’s will have a crowded blue line and it would require moving a player. They’ve already got Vladislav Kolyachonok, who was picked up on waivers, sitting out as a healthy scratch. Lindholm, who has missed the last week-plus with an undisclosed injury and is on IR, is back skating and is could practice this week. Harris would make it three extra D. Something will have to give at some point.
