Vancouver Canucks’ Jake DeBrusk a Healthy Scratch Against Kraken

Vancouver, BC – Vancouver Canucks winger Jake DeBrusk will be a healthy scratch for tonight’s game against the Seattle Kraken, Head Coach Adam Foote announced Sunday. The move comes as a reset for the 29-year-old Edmonton native, who has struggled to find consistent offensive production this season.

DeBrusk has tallied nine goals and eight assists in 37 games but has only managed one even-strength goal. His plus/minus rating also sits at a negative nine.

“It sucks, yeah, it’s embarrassing,” DeBrusk told reporters following the announcement. “Any time you miss a game, yeah, it’s embarrassing. I’d be wrong if I wasn’t saying I was pissed off right now, but I understand, and I need a jolt. Obviously haven’t been good enough any time you’re in this position. I gotta control what I can do from this point forward and just worry about me.”

DeBrusk is currently in the second year of a seven-year, $5.5 million per year contract with the Canucks. It remains to be seen when he will return to the lineup.

Canucks fans can catch the game against the Seattle Kraken tonight on Sportsnet Pacific and Sportsnet+ starting at 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT.
