Jake DeBrusk had his chances to stick it to his old coach Bruce Cassidy when the Vegas Golden Knights handed the Bruins a shootout loss at the Garden a week ago.
The B’s winger would not let his second opportunity slip through his fingers.
DeBrusk, who famously butted heads with the B’s former coach to the point that he requested a trade, scored the B’s go-ahead goal early in the third period and it held up as the game-winner in their 3-1 victory over the Knights in Vegas. And, oh, DeBrusk doled out a half dozen hits for good measure.
