VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Fraser Minten scored his second goal of the game 4:41 into overtime to cap a huge homecoming as the Boston Bruins beat the Vancouver Canucks 3-2 on Saturday night.
Playing his first NHL game in his hometown, Minten opened the scoring in the first period with a power-play goal before dozens of friends and family members in the crowd.
Elias Lindholm also scored for Boston with the man advantage. David Pastrnak had two assists and Jeremy Swayman stopped 31 shots.
It was the Bruins’ second straight win after losing six games in a row (0-4-2).
