With this, the Bruins now have a 22-18-2 record and have won each of their last two games.<\/p>\n<p>Bruins forward Fraser Minten had a big night in the Original Six club&#8217;s win against the Canucks, as he scored two goals in the matchup. This included him scoring the overtime winner, so there is no question that Minten stepped up in a major way for the Black and Gold in this one.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Due to his big performance, Minten also accomplished something that has not been done often in Bruins history.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Buccigross\/status\/2007807092821053737\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:According to ESPN&#039;s John Buccigross;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">According to ESPN&#8217;s John Buccigross<\/a>, Minten is now just the third Bruins player 21 years old or younger with a multi-goal game with an overtime winner in franchise history. Per Buccigross, the only other two players who accomplished this were David Pastrnak and Joe Thornton.<\/p>\n<p>That is undoubtedly some elite company for Minten to join.<\/p>\n<p>Minten will now be looking to continue to impress with the Bruins as the season rolls on. In 42 games so far this campaign with the Bruins, the 6-foot-2 center has posted eight goals, nine assists, 17 points, and a plus-8 rating. He has also posted four points over his last two games alone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Boston Bruins picked up a 3-2 overtime win against the Vancouver Canucks on Jan. 3.
