DeBrusk scored the game’s first goal that ended up being the game-winner. The Bruins challenged it for a hand-pass but were unsuccessful. Coach Joe Sacco was confident it would get overturned, and even DeBrusk wasn’t sure it would count because he’s had similar goals called back — particularly one in the playoffs while with Boston.

DeBrusk gave Vancouver a 1-0 lead at 5:53 of the second period on a power play, sweeping in the rebound in front of the net after Garland deflected a shot by Quinn Hughes. The Bruins had three power-play opportunities down the stretch with a chance to tie the game, but failed to get past Lankinen.

The Canucks are 7-1 away from home, and are coming off a 4-3 win at Ottawa on Saturday in which the former Bruin had two goals and an assist.
