Lightning forward Conor Geekie has been suspended for one preseason game for his role in "starting an altercation" with Florida's Josh Davies.

Conor Geekie has been a quick study in Lightning training camp. And whether the organization’s top prospect has done enough to crack the team’s opening night roster remains to be seen. But he certainly won over his teammates Wednesday night in the Lightning’s 2-1 overtime preseason loss to the cross-state rival Panthers.

The league blasted Geekie with a one-game ban following his actions and the altercation during the aforementioned game. The NHL's Department of Player Safety handed down the suspension on Thursday after Geekie instigated a fight, violating Rule 70.2.
