2. Jake DeBrusk is on fire

The Boston Bruins 2nd line has been scrutinized. It’s hard to look good when you see the first line absolutely dominating. If Jake DeBrusk keeps playing like this, no one will be complaining about the 2nd line.

DeBrusk was a beast on Thursday night. He scored 2 goals and now has 13 this season.

It seems like DeBrusk is always in the right place. He loves standing in front of the net and loves tipping pucks into the net. David Krejci always puts it in the perfect place for DeBrusk.

At times it seems like DeBrusk may struggle to score, but he is once again near the top of the Bruins leaderboard in goals. DeBrusk has as many goals as Patrice Bergeron this season.

The importance of DeBrusk can be forgotten. He is one of the best young players and really overall that Boston has on their roster right now.
