DeBrusk, who played his first seven NHL seasons with the Bruins before signing with the Canucks as a free agent last summer, scored a rebound 5:53 into the second period. It was the third goal in two games for DeBrusk, who has 16 points in November. He scored twice and had an assist in a 4-3 win at Ottawa on Saturday.
Lankinen stopped 13 shots in the second period and 11 more in the third, getting his pads together just in time to stop Brad Marchand’s attempt to pass the puck with about 25 seconds left. It was Lankinen’s second shutout of the season.
Canucks forward Brock Boeser was back with the team after missing seven games with an upper-body injury resulting from a hit during a Nov. 7 game.
Jeremy Swayman made 13 saves for the Bruins.
