DeBrusk has faced considerable challenges this season, notably in terms of performance. With just four goals in 32 games, he experienced a six-game stretch without earning a point until Wednesday. However, he broke that dry spell by contributing primary assists to both of Coyle's power-play goals.
The Bruins player displayed an active and assertive presence during the last game against the Sabres, showcasing physicality and confidence while controlling the puck. When he adopts that power forward approach, utilizing his agility and assertiveness, he demonstrates significant potential as a player.
Dealing with consistency has been an ongoing struggle for DeBrusk. His offensive performance tends to fluctuate, evident in his goal drought of 11 consecutive games. However, if he maintains the same level of speed and assertive play witnessed on Wednesday, the goals are likely to follow suit.
