Filip Hronek<\/a> had a goal and assist, and Lankinen made 18 saves for the Canucks (16-20-5), who were coming off a 4-3 shootout loss to the Seattle Kraken on Friday and have one win in six games (1-3-2).<\/p>\n

\u201cDefinitely hard to build off a loss, but with the game I think we played, our forecheck and the speed, if we continue doing that, definitely (something to build off),\u201d said forward Elias Pettersson<\/a>, who also scored for Vancouver. \u201cDefinitely not where we want to be. We’re better than what the standing shows. But it is what it is. We can only focus on what’s ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n

Minten put the Bruins ahead 1-0 on the power play at 16:24 of the first period on a screened wrist shot past Lankinen\u2019s blocker from the right slot.<\/p>\n

The fact the rookie is on the power play, even the second unit, in his first full season with the Bruins after being acquired on March 7 along with two draft picks, from the Toronto Maple Leafs for defenseman Brandon Carlo<\/a>, says a lot. So does the fact Minten was on the ice in the final minute of overtime.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe deserves every bit of it,\u201d Swayman said. \u201cOne of the hardest workers on the team, plays the right way, carries himself the right way, like a pro, and it’s just awesome to see him get results like that and it’s expected now. He’s put himself in a position to be an elite player and it’s just really fun to watch and be a part of.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pettersson tied it 1-1 at :48 of the second period when Hronek\u2019s pass from the point deflected off his right skate in the slot and under the pads of a screened Swayman.<\/p>\n

Lindholm put Boston back ahead on another power play at 7:25, tapping in a Pastrnak pass from under the left face-off dot to the back side of the crease.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Filip Hronek had a goal and assist, and Lankinen made 18 saves for the Canucks (16-20-5), who were…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":391071,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[556],"tags":[64,63,575,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-391070","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nhl","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-nhl","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/391070","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=391070"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/391070\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/391071"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=391070"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=391070"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=391070"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
