Game notes
- Fresh off of a loss to the Edmonton Oilers, the Bruins welcome another western Canadian team to TD Garden as the Vancouver Canucks come to town.
- While the highlight (lowlight?) of Vancouver’s season to date involved the Canucks shipping out their best player in Quinn Hughes, they’ve been playing better hockey of late: the Canucks are winners of three straight games.
- Vancouver actually played on Friday night, beating the New York Islanders, 4-1, on SCENIC Long Island. Kiefer Sherwood, a guy some reports indicate the Bruins are looking at, had a hat trick in that win.
- Former Boston College Eagle Thatcher Demko recently returned from injury, giving the Canucks a boost. He has won three games in a row, including last night’s game.
- David Kampf, who had his contract terminated by the Toronto Maple Leafs earlier this season after he decided he didn’t want to report to the AHL, signed with Vancouver after he became a free agent. He scored his first goal as a Canuck on Friday night.
- Former Bruin Jake DeBrusk is off to a so-so start this season for the Canucks, posting 9G-7A-16PTS totals in 34 games.
