Jake DeBrusk had a strong game against his former team, scoring the opening goal in the Vancouver Canucks' 2-0 win over the Boston Bruins. His second-period power-play goal silenced the TD Garden crowd and showcased his ability to deliver in key moments.
DeBrusk played 16 minutes and 44 seconds, finishing with one goal on three shots. He did not record any assists and had a plus-minus of zero.
Despite outshooting Vancouver 33-15, Boston couldn’t solve Canucks goalie Kevin Lankinen, who got help from his defense to shut down rebounds.
Boston won 59% of faceoffs and had 29 hits to Vancouver’s 30. But the Canucks were better at blocking shots, with 26 compared to Boston’s 11. Both teams had two takeaways, but Vancouver had more giveaways, 16 to Boston’s 12. Vancouver now leads the season series 1-0.
