Suter has scored four goals in the previous five games and is settling into the Canucks lineup. Even though he plays in the bottom six, he is becoming a dependable offensive source when it counts most. Every NHL club needs a supplementary scorer like him.
Second Takeaway: Jake DeBrusk Scores His First Goal for the Canucks
The Canucks took a 2-1 lead late in the third when Jake DeBrusk finally hit the back of the net for the first goal against the Sharks. This goal might provide DeBrusk the confidence boost he needs as he adjusts to his new team after signing a seven-year contract in the offseason, after a four-game point drought.
As he looks to gain a bigger role, Vancouver might benefit from DeBrusk’s physical edge, as he contributed three hits and two shots on goal. The winger’s goal made a statement, but he just has five points in ten games right now. After agreeing to a big long-term contract with the team, it was his first goal. As they try to compete, Vancouver thinks his physicality and experience will add depth to their team.
