"I think we had a really good start against them. It's a young group now after the (Quinn Hughes) trade and they just go out there and work hard. You could see even (Friday in a shootout loss against Seattle), they don't quit. We just have to make sure we focus on our game. We've only won one game so far, so we want to grab this one tonight with a good solid Bruins effort."
"They're very excited. They've been talking about it for a few days now. Well, a few months but since I've been here they've been talking about it. I'm sure they're very excited."
"Growing up downtown here, this is unbelievable. I'm very happy for him and for his family to see him play here. We're happy he's going to be wearing a Boston Bruins jersey and not a Canucks jersey, that's for sure."
Boston will go with the same lineup Saturday while seeking a win streak after snapping a six-game losing skid in Edmonton. The team aims to avenge a Dec. 20 shootout loss to Vancouver and avoid lapses that cost games. Coach Marco Sturm emphasized the need for full 60-minute effort and focus, noting Vancouver's young, hard-working group after the Quinn Hughes trade. Rookie Fraser Minten returns to his Vancouver home neighborhood with many friends and family expected. Minten has earned praise for defensive instincts and responsibility. Sturm also recalled his brief, forgettable stint with Vancouver, playing six games before being traded.
