For Bruins fans desperately craving for a kid with some heft to come walking through that Zamboni door, Saturday night offered a promising glimpse.
The 21-year-old was acquired by the Bruins from the Maple Leafs at last year’s trade deadline for a deal that included sending Brandon Carlo to Toronto. In 42 games this season, Minten has eight goals and nine assists as he continues to grow into his role.
Before Minten won the game for the Bruins, he opened scoring in the first period. Alex Steeves pushed the puck over to Minten in the slot, where he snapped it past Canucks netminder Kevin Lankinen for the power-play goal and 1-0 lead at 16:24.
