Several familiar faces returned to TD Garden ice for Tuesday’s matchup between the Bruins and Canucks.
Jake DeBrusk and Danton Heinen, who both signed with Vancouver during the offseason, made their return to Causeway Street on Tuesday. Another ex-Bruin in Derek Forbort also signed with the Canucks during the offseason, but did not play due to injury.
Shortly after the first media timeout during Tuesday’s game, both DeBrusk and Heinen were honored with tributes on the TD Garden video board.
The clip featured some of the top highlights from both skaters during their tenures in a black-and-gold sweater, including DeBrusk’s two-goal performance in Game 7 against the Maple Leafs in 2018 and his two tallies in Boston’s Winter Classic victory at Fenway Park in 2023.
