SEATTLE — Jake DeBrusk made the most of his opportunity in his first top-line assignment of the season with Brad Marchand and Patrice Bergeron. Then, he faced the media for the first time since his trade request became public.
Ironically enough, DeBrusk scored both of his markers without Bergeron and Marchand flanking him. But his 10th and 11th goals of the season came in pivotal moments during the Bruins’ 3-2 victory over the Kraken Thursday night at Climate Pledge Arena.
DeBrusk’s first tally of the evening came on the heels of Boston’s fifth failed power play attempt of the opening 20.
