Jake DeBrusk was one of several off-season departures for the Boston Bruins this past summer. After hitting the free-agent market, the 2015 first-round pick signed a seven-year, $38.5 million contract with the Vancouver Canucks.
At this point of the season, the Canucks are desperately trying to sneak their way into the playoffs in the Western Conference. However, they need every win they can get from here, as they are seven points behind the Minnesota Wild for the final wild card spot with a game in hand. During this crucial part of the campaign for Vancouver, DeBrusk has been contributing.
DeBrusk is currently sporting a five-game point streak for the Canucks, where he has one goal and four assists over that span. In addition, the former Bruin has posted eight points in his last 10 contests, so he has been heating up.
During his time as a Bruin, DeBrusk was known for his hot streaks, and he is having one at an ideal time for the Canucks. It will be fascinating to see if he can keep this kind of play up for the Canucks from here.
In 74 games this season with Vancouver, DeBrusk has 24 goals, 20 assists, 44 points, and a minus-14 rating. During his seven-year stint with Boston, he recorded 138 goals, 128 assists, 266 points, and a plus-51 rating.
