DeBrusk was a force in 2018-19, scoring 42 points (27 goals, 15 assists) in 68 regular-season games and 11 points (four goals, seven assists) in 24 playoff games. This season, though, the forward's production dipped to 35 points (19 goals, 16 assists) in 65 games. More concerning, he lacked consistency and was benched several times. In April, DeBrusk said that the time away from the game had allowed him to "take a step back and understand what kind of player I want to be in this league." The Bruins have been at their best when they're not relying solely on their top line for offense, and a revitalized DeBrusk would go a long way toward helping them achieve their Cup aspirations.
