Canucks will need the best of Bo Horvat in all aspects of the game to take down the Sharks
7 p.m., Rogers Arena, TV: Sportsnet Pacific, Radio: Sportsnet 650 AMNobody in the NHL has taken more draws than Bo Horvat, the captain-in-waiting centre, whose 1,952 faceoffs are 69 more than Aleksander Barkov of the Florida Panthers. Horvat also has a 53.8 per cent success rate and Couture will be hard pressed to match that efficiency with his 46 per cent success rate.
To make it a memorable night, Horvat will have to be at his faceoff and shutdown best because Couture and Meier have 70-point seasons and have struck for 27 and 30 goals respectively. Horvat and Elias Pettersson are tied for the team lead in goals with 27 while Pettersson’s team-leading 65 points are six more than Horvat. Brock Boeser is second in goals and third in points .
