Former Boston Bruins winger Jake DeBrusk made his return to the TD Garden on Tuesday night as a member of the Vancouver Canucks. Despite a rocky relationship with the Bruins and a trade request in 2021, DeBrusk has found success with his new team, scoring six goals in his last 11 games.
DeBrusk’s departure has been felt by the struggling Bruins, who have had trouble scoring goals this season. The team’s power play is currently last in the league, and they have been shut out four times in their last 17 games. DeBrusk’s ability to find the net and contribute on the penalty kill has been sorely missed.
While the Bruins dominated the Canucks in terms of possession and chances in Tuesday’s game, they ultimately fell short in goals scored. With DeBrusk no longer on the roster, the team will need to find other sources of scoring to improve their offensive production.
Reflecting on his time in Boston, DeBrusk acknowledged the highs and lows of his career with the team. He emphasized the importance of dealing with adversity and learning from challenges in the NHL.
As the Bruins continue to search for ways to improve their offense and secure a playoff spot, DeBrusk’s success with the Canucks serves as a reminder of his scoring prowess and the impact he had during his time in Boston.
