Jake DeBrusk scored the game-winner for the Canucks in the second period. The game was the first for DeBrusk against the Bruins, the team he left in free agency.

When he first took the Bruins head coaching reigns last week, Joe Sacco made defense his team’s top priority. And if their last two games have been any indication, so far, so good. The Bruins defensive corps executed that game plan perfectly leading the Black and Gold to a pair of hard-fought victories.

The Vancouver Canucks start their first of three East Coast games in four days with a visit to Boston on Tuesday night. The game at the TD Center will start at 7 p.m. ET and you can watch it on ESPN+ (introductory discount).
