Landon Ferraro knows how to put on a good show for the friends and family.

The British Columbia native had a sizable cheering section on hand Saturday at Rogers Arena to watch him tally a goal and an assist in the Boston Bruins' 4-0 win over the Vancouver Canucks.

"It was awesome," Ferraro told NESN rinkside reporter Sarah Davis after the game. "I said earlier it's something you always dream of doing in front of your family in your hometown, and to be able to do it, just with how this year has kind of gone for me so far, it was a pretty special moment. I know they're going to be excited to see me after here."

It was the 24-year-old's second memorable family moment since he joined the Bruins last month. He also notched an assist in his B's debut with his dad, a former NHL player-turned-TSN broadcaster Ray Ferraro, watching on from between the benches.

Ferraro, who began the season with the Detroit Red Wings, has looked like a solid pickup thus far for Boston. He's recorded four points (two goals, two assists) in five games and has been a dependable and versatile bottom-six forward for head coach Claude Julien.

"It's good," Ferraro said of his midseason adjustment to a new team. "It's a little bit different. It's a lot younger team, it's real tight-knit, and they've been awesome so far. Right from Day 1 where I walked into the room and literally didn't know anyone, they've been real good. It's been a lot of fun so far. I just want to keep moving."

Some additional notes from Saturday's game:

-- The win over the Canucks allowed the Bruins to take four of a possible six points from their three-game road trip despite playing far below their potential in Games 1 and 2.

"We talked about it, (and) four out of six is not bad out West," goalie Tuuka Rask said in a postgame interview with Sportsnet. "We felt that we didn't play our best those first two games, still got points, and (Saturday) we played a great game and got the win. Overall, it's a good road trip."

Rask stopped all 17 shots he faced in his third shutout of the season.

-- Adam McQuaid left the game in the first period with an apparent arm/wrist injury and did not return. Head coach Claude Julien did not offer an update of the defenseman's condition in his postgame meeting with reporters.

-- The game was the 400th of Brad Marchand's career -- an important number in the winger's mind.

"It's obviously a nice milestone, and actually, one time, someone said to me that you're a real NHLer when you've played 400 games," Marchand told reporters at morning skate, via BostonBruins.com. "So, I guess that's a nice milestone to hit, but hopefully there's another 400 in store for me."

Marchand scored his team-leading 13th goal in the win.

-- The Canucks have lost five games in a row and failed to score more than two goals in any of them.

-- Fluto Shinzawa's Sunday column in The Boston Globe featured a lengthy interview with former Bruins general manager Harry Sinden, whose job title now reads "senior adviser to the owner."

Sinden offered his take on Don Sweeney's performance thus far in the position he used to hold and the state of the Bruins franchise as a whole in its current period of transition.

"It's not quite a real contender at the moment," the 83-year-old told Shinzawa. "But it's shown signs that it can move into that second level of contention. As we all know, there's nothing like the Stanley Cup playoffs for upsets. There's just nothing like it. Eighth seeds win sometimes. I think we're on the edge of that. We've shown improvement. We're showing signs of playing offensively, which I wasn't sure we were going to show."
