The Bruins will go with the same lineup on Saturday night when they try to create a win streak after snapping a six-game losing skid on Wednesday in Edmonton.

They’d also like to avenge a shootout loss in Boston to the Canucks on Dec. 20, a game they should have won but let get away from them.

“We didn’t play for 60 minutes,” coach Marco Sturm told reporters in Vancouver after the morning skate. “I think we had a really good start against them. It’s a young group now after the (Quinn Hughes) trade and they just go out there and work hard. You could see even (Friday in a shootout loss against Seattle), they don’t quit. We just have to make sure we focus on our game. We’ve only won one game so far, so we want to grab this one tonight with a good solid Bruins effort.”

It will be a homecoming for rookie Fraser Minten, who grew up in the Yaletown section of Vancouver, a short walk away from Rogers Arena. He expects to have 50-100 friends and family in attendance.

“They’re very excited,” said the 21-year-old Minten. “They’ve been talking about it for a few days now. Well, a few months but since I’ve been here they’ve been talking about it. I’m sure they’re very excited.”

Minten has been a coach’s dream kind of player, with defensive instincts and sense of responsibility few players his age. Sturm raved about him again on Saturday, though he did give him a little tweak.

“I told him today that the last time he played Vancouver he played for Vancouver. He made a couple of mistakes and I think he was playing for them for a few shifts,” joked Sturm. “Growing up downtown here, this is unbelievable. I’m very happy for him and for his family to see him play here. We’re happy he’s going to be wearing a Boston Bruins jersey and not a Canucks jersey, that’s for sure.”

Sturm himself had a forgettable stint with Canucks after signing there before the 2011-12 season. He played just six games before getting traded to the Panthers in what would be his last NHL season.

“Unfortunately it didn’t work out. I had high hopes coming here as a free agent, brought my family, my little kids here and got traded early on,” said Sturm. “But also on the other side, I got traded to Florida and Florida is still my home in the summer. I can’t get mad at them right now. But it’s a tough market, you could tell. It’s a Canadian market. It’s not easy, especially when things aren’t going well. Unfortunately, it was right after the Bruins won the Cup and you could tell the energy, the excitement was missing from the loss. And I was just here at the wrong time, I think. Great city, great organization, great people. I was just here at the wrong time.”

Neither Tanner Jeannot nor Henri Jokiharju, the two injured players with the team on the road, were deemed ready to join the lineup.
