Unveiling the NHL’s Most Shocking Breakout Stars of 2025-26 – Prepare to Be Amazed!

A massive chunk of Geekie’s breakout can be explained simply by getting a massive bump in ice time and power-play opportunity when he was still young enough to meaningfully break out.
David Pastrnak also deserves a ton of credit, as he’s recorded an assist on 33 of Geekie’s 59 goals (56 percent) since last season. The 29-year-old Czech superstar commands so much respect from the opposition that he’s opened up extra space for Geekie both at even strength and on the power play. Pastrnak’s evolution into an elite playmaker rather than just a pure sniper — he’s fourth among all NHL players in assists since 2023-24 — isn’t talked about enough nationally. Geekie wouldn’t be nearly as dangerous if he had to operate as a solo offensive threat.
