In a recent turn of events, Boston Bruins' forward Jake DeBrusk faced a consequence for breaking a team rule but managed to quickly put it behind him and make a strong comeback. According to Jim Montgomery, the head coach of the Bruins, DeBrusk handled the punishment with professionalism and showed great resilience.

DeBrusk, who was a healthy scratch for the Bruins' game against the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday night, missed the game as a result of being late for a team meeting. While his absence was brief, DeBrusk returned to the ice on Sunday night when the Bruins faced off against the Anaheim Ducks at Honda Center.

Prior to the game, Coach Montgomery praised DeBrusk for his mature response to the punishment, emphasizing the need to focus on the present and leave the past behind. He stated, "Yesterday (Saturday) is over with, worry about today (Sunday)." It seems that DeBrusk took this advice to heart and embraced the opportunity for redemption.

Showing accountability for his mistake, DeBrusk took the ice with determination and made an impact on the game. Assisting on one of Matthew Poitras' two goals, DeBrusk played a crucial role in the Bruins' 3-1 victory over the Ducks. This win helped the Bruins maintain their unblemished record, which is one of only three in the NHL at the moment.

Looking ahead, DeBrusk aims to continue making positive contributions for his team as the Bruins wrap up their four-game road trip. On Tuesday evening, the Black and Gold will face off against the Chicago Blackhawks at 8:30 p.m. ET. As DeBrusk has shown resilience and a strong work ethic, Bruins fans can hope to see him continue his success on the ice.

While it is unfortunate that DeBrusk had to face a consequence for breaking team rules, his ability to handle the punishment professionally and bounce back shows growth and maturity. As the season progresses, it will be interesting to see how DeBrusk continues to contribute to the Bruins' success and how he learns from this experience to become an even stronger player.

Stay tuned for more updates on the Bruins' journey as they aim to maintain their impressive start to the season.
