Geekie saw a bigger role as the right wing on the third line while also working with the second power-play unit during Sunday's practice session, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Geekie said Sunday that he hasn't yet been told whether he has made Tampa Bay's Opening Night roster, but he seems to be trending toward beginning the year with the Lightning following a solid camp.

Geekie was suspended for Friday's preseason game against Carolina but will be available for the start of the regular season.
