Bruins end Canucks point streak at 12 with shutout

It was Ullmark’s first shutout of the season and seventh of his NHL career.

The Bruins tied the Canucks atop the NHL standings (73 points).

Pavel Zacha had a goal and an assist for Boston (32-10-9), which has won eight of its past 10. Brad Marchand and Danton Heinen each scored a short-handed goal, and David Pastrnak and Charlie Coyle each had two assists.

Thatcher Demko made 21 saves for Vancouver (34-12-5), which was 10-0-2 during its streak.

Marchand gave Boston a 1-0 lead 32 seconds into the game. Coyle picked up Demko’s misplayed pass from behind the net and centered the puck to Marchand on the doorstep.

Heinen made it 2-0 at 15:37 of the first period. Coyle sprung him out of the defensive zone, and Heinen split Quinn Hughes and Elias Pettersson to finish off the breakaway.

The Bruins scored twice within 15 seconds in the first minute of the second period to push the lead to 4-0. Morgan Geekie scored when the puck took an awkward bounce off his stick and was poked in by Canucks defenseman Tyler Myers at 34 seconds, and Zacha scored from the slot at 49 seconds off a pass from James van Riemsdyk.

Canucks forward Nils Hoglander appeared to score at 12:57 when he batted the puck in out of the air, but the goal was waved off for high-sticking.
