Canucks' Jake DeBrusk: Gets first goal with new team
Rotowire
DeBrusk scored a goal on two shots and added three hits in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Sharks.
DeBrusk snapped a four-game slump with his first tally as a Canuck in the third period. The 28-year-old winger has seen a diminished role due to his recent struggles -- he's been under 15 minutes of ice time in each of the last two games. Overall, DeBrusk has five points, 15 shots on net, 23 hits, eight PIM and an even plus-minus rating over 10 appearances this season.

Canucks' Jake DeBrusk: Slides helper Saturday
Rotowire
DeBrusk notched an assist and seven hits in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Flyers.
DeBrusk has shuffled around the lineup a bit early in the year, but he's been consistent regardless of his spot. The winger has four helpers, nine shots on net, 16 hits, six PIM and a plus-1 rating through five outings. He's still looking for his first goal, but DeBrusk should be steady enough on offense and with physical play to be a worthy depth winger in many fantasy formats.

Canucks' Jake DeBrusk: Manages power-play assist
Rotowire
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.

Canucks' Jake DeBrusk: Goal, assist in win
Rotowire
DeBrusk scored a goal on three shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Friday's 4-1 preseason win over the Oilers.
DeBrusk's goal was an empty-netter, and he also helped out on a Carson Soucy tally in the first period. DeBrusk has earned three goals and an assist over three preseason appearances. The winger is poised to fill a top-six role consistently in 2024-25 after signing a seven-year contract with the Canucks in free agency. He should also receive ample power-play time, and given the quality of his potential linemates, DeBrusk could push to reach or exceed the 50-point mark for the second time in his career.

Canucks' Jake DeBrusk: Earns seven-year deal
Rotowire
DeBrusk penned a seven-year, $38.5 million contract with Vancouver on Monday.
DeBrusk appears to be the consolation prize for the Canucks after they missed out on Jake Guentzel, who the team was heavily linked to before he signed with Tampa Bay. The 27-year-old DeBrusk came just one goal shy of reaching the 20-goal threshold for the third straight season, posting 19 goals and 21 helpers over 80 regular-season games in 2023-24. DeBrusk should be in line for a top-six role that will see him playing with either Elias Pettersson or J.T. Miller, either of which should help bolster DeBrusk's offensive output.
DeBrusk recorded an assist, five hits and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Panthers in Game 5.
DeBrusk is warming up on offense with two goals and three assists over five games in the second round. The 27-year-old winger set up a Morgan Geekie tally in the first period. DeBrusk is up to 10 points, 23 shots on net, 47 hits and a minus-4 rating through 12 playoff appearances. He should continue to see top-six minutes, though it appears he's benefiting from a larger role while Brad Marchand (upper body) is unavailable.

Bruins' Jake DeBrusk: Deposits empty-netter
Rotowire
DeBrusk scored an empty-net goal on three shots and added four hits in Monday's 5-1 win over the Panthers in Game 1.
DeBrusk was able to find the empty cage to finish off Monday's tone-setting victory to begin the second round. The 27-year-old was also strong early in the first round with five points over the first three games against the Maple Leafs, but he was held off the scoresheet in the final four contests. DeBrusk typically won't have the most consistent offense, but he's in a position to succeed in a top-line role. The winger has added 32 hits, 19 shots on net and a minus-3 rating over eight playoff outings.

Rotowire
DeBrusk delivered a goal and an assist in a 6-5 win over the Flyers on Saturday.

That's a huge step up from one two-point game (and two points total) in his previous 15 outings. DeBrusk has really settled down since the trade deadline when rumors were roaring about a possible deal out of town. He may be the best deadline non-move for the Bruins in recent memory.

Rotowire

DeBrusk tallied to put the Bruins ahead 4-1 in the second period. That lead didn't last, but he was able to chip in again by setting up Charlie McAvoy's game-winning goal in overtime. Prior to Wednesday, DeBrusk had gone nine games without a point. He's at 27 points, 124 shots, 65 hits and a plus-10 rating through 55 appearances this season, playing mainly in a top-six role.
