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 didn’t record his first goal with Vancouver until his 10th game in a blue sweater. Since then, he’s scored six goals in his last 11 contests.
