Minten is from Vancouver, so to have that kind of game in his hometown was special for the 21-year-old forward.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWouldn\u2019t believe it, probably,\u201d Minten <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/bruins\/video\/locker-room-raw-jeremy-swayman-and-fraser-minten-6387213902112\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">said<\/a> on Saturday, as seen on NESN\u2019s postgame coverage. \u201cLots of happiness. Happy to win, happy to do it here. Just a good feeling.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bruins goalie Jeremy Swayman, meanwhile, wasn\u2019t surprised to see Minten have success this season. Swayman called Minten one of the hardest workers on the team and was glad to see him have success in his hometown.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s excellent,\u201d Swayman said about Minten. \u201cHe deserves every bit of it. One of the hardest workers on the team. Plays the right way, carries himself the right way like a pro. <\/p>\n<p class=\"nesn-in-content-ad__copy\">Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s just awesome to see him get results like that. It\u2019s expected now. He\u2019s put himself in a position to be an elite player.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Minten\u2019s two-goal game helped Boston pick up a big road win to continue its push for the playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>Bruins head coach, Marco Sturm, meanwhile, also heaped praise on Minten for his effort and play on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"nesn-in-content-ad__copy\">Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCan\u2019t describe a better script,\u201d Sturm <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/bruins\/video\/press-room-marco-sturm-6387214759112\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">said<\/a>. \u201cHe\u2019s a young kid growing up here just around the corner and begging for tickets just to see the Canucks play. And what a game he had today. Not just two goals, but overall, just very happy for him and his family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With the win, Boston improved to 22-18-2 and is one point back of a playoff spot. The Bruins will return to the ice on Tuesday on the road against the Seattle Kraken.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Boston Bruins picked up a 3-2 overtime win over the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday.
