DeBrusk recorded a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Flames.
DeBrusk set up a Brock Boeser tally at 11:48 of the first period. It's a modestly positive start to DeBrusk's tenure in Vancouver after he signed a seven-year contract in July. The 27-year-old winger had 40 points in 80 regular-season games with the Bruins last year, but his upside is higher after he logged 27 goals and 50 points the year before. DeBrusk will be a top-six fixture for the Canucks, and in addition to decent offense, he's expected to be a steady source of shots on goal and hits.
