Several former Bruins players returned to TD Garden on Tuesday night as the Vancouver Canucks faced off against Boston. Jake DeBrusk and Danton Heinen, who both signed with Vancouver in the offseason, were honored with video tributes showcasing their highlights from their time with the Bruins. DeBrusk, who played the first eight seasons of his NHL career with Boston, scored a power-play goal against his former team during the game.
In a pre-game interview, DeBrusk expressed his anticipation for facing off against his former teammates, joking that he expects some playful chirping from them. Despite the strange feeling of playing against his former team, DeBrusk acknowledged that both sides are focused on winning.
DeBrusk has been performing well in his first season with Vancouver, tallying six goals and 14 points in 20 games. Heinen, on the other hand, has faced the Bruins in an opposing sweater before, having played for the Ducks and Penguins in previous seasons.
The return of these former players added an extra layer of excitement to the matchup, with fans and players alike enjoying the reunion on the ice. As the game progressed, it was clear that both DeBrusk and Heinen were determined to make an impact against their former team, showcasing their skills and competitiveness in the heated game.
