Jake DeBrusk’s likely final days as a member of the Boston Bruins isn’t quite worthy of Hollywood-ending territory. But he’s making the most of his supporting role ever since his trade request became public.
Skating on the top line with Brad Marchand and Patrice Bergeron for the third straight game on Monday night against the Los Angeles Kings, DeBrusk quickly put the Bruins ahead a mere 1:01 in as a relatively routine shot found its way past Jonathan Quick.
The fifth-year Bruin added a tally at 13:37 of the opening period and completed his first career hat trick 53 ticks into the middle 20.
