Bergeron made his season debut for the Bruins Thursday, having missed the first five games.

The Bruins scored three power-play goals in the first period after Erik Gulbranson was given a major penalty for boarding, for a hit from behind.

He will have a hearing with the league on Friday for the penalty.

Jacob Markstrom made 14 saves for Vancouver and was later replaced by Anders Nilsson, who made a further 16 saves.

The Canucks next play the Buffalo Sabres in First Niagara Center on Friday afternoon.
