Pavel Datsyuk scored with five seconds left to give the Detroit Red Wings 22nd consecutive home victory, 2-1 over the Nashville Predators on Friday.
Geoffrion scored just eight points (6G, 2A) in his rookie season with the Preds last year. He spent the first four months of the season in the AHL, but was recalled in February and stuck with the team right through to the end of the regular season and into the playoffs, where he added two assists in 12 games. Geoffrion certainly has the bloodlines and the raw scoring ability to make a big impact in the NHL someday, but for now, expect the Preds to continue to bring him along slowly. (Updated 10/4/11)
