Bruins Dominate Canucks in 5-1 Victory #

The Boston Bruins broke their losing streak with a decisive 5-1 win over the Vancouver Canucks at Rogers Arena.

The Bruins controlled the game from start to finish, carving up Vancouver’s defense and generating scoring chances even when short-handed. In contrast, the Canucks appeared flat and lifeless, struggling in every phase of the game.

Vancouver was thoroughly outworked, defending poorly and getting heavily outshot even when trailing. They failed to sustain any meaningful offensive pressure until late in the second period when already down 4-0.

The loss continued the Canucks’ baffling struggles at home this season. They have won just 5 of 16 games at Rogers Arena, often falling behind early and trailing by multiple goals. This lack of consistent effort at home has been a defining issue for the team.

One bright spot for Vancouver was rookie Max Sasson scoring his first NHL goal in the third period. Sasson has impressed in limited action with his speed and hockey IQ, potentially earning himself a more permanent roster spot.

Bruins forward Brad Marchand embraced his villain role, scoring the opening power play goal and taunting the crowd. He later got into a scuffle with Canucks players as the second period ended.

For Vancouver, it was their least impressive performance of the season and a squandered opportunity to build momentum after a strong win earlier in the week. The lopsided defeat allowed divisional rivals to gain ground in the standings.
