now face another formidable test after their third-straight home loss: to their faith.
Their only score Tuesday, a wrist shot from the slot by Brock Boeser with the Canucks skating six against five, came with just 5.8 seconds remaining. Asked about the balance between defending and attacking, Horvat said: “I think that's the fine line we have to find in our group. That's kind of what's going to make our team: sticking to our system. But at the same time, it's bearing down on our chances offensively in front of the net. We're doing a lot of good things defensively. We're doing a lot of things right in the defensive zone, but it's got to translate.
Canucks defencemen have contributed three goals in nine games, and Vancouver’s power play is 1-for-9 on the homestand and 3-for-23 the last seven games. There was bad luck for Vancouver on both goals, made possible by Oiler-friendly bounces off Vancouver defenders.
