Conor Garland provided an assist for DeBrusk's goal and later scored an empty-net goal near the end of the game. Since joining the Canucks in the offseason, DeBrusk has been on a strong scoring run, accumulating 16 points in November.
Lankinen stopped 24 shots in the last two periods, skillfully blocking a close attempt from Brad Marchand. This victory marks his second shutout this season.
Despite Brock Boeser's return to the Canucks' lineup, Jeremy Swayman only managed to make 13 saves for Boston.
