On January 30, 2023, the Vancouver Canucks made a franchise-altering decision. In what was GM Patrik Allvin's first major move with the organization, the Canucks traded captain Bo Horvat to the New York Islanders for Anthony Beauvillier,
The New York Islanders have won five straight games to close out a season-long stretch of seven straight home games. During the final six games of the stretch, Bo Horvat registered five goals and three assists,
Horvat himself has been on a tear. He enters Thursday's game on a six-game points streak with five goals and three assists. It's the second-longest point streak of his Islanders career. He went 11 straight games with a point from Nov 28, 2023, to Dec. 19, 2023, recording eight goals and nine assists over that span.
The Vancouver Canucks drama isn't going away anytime soon and a recent report regarding Bo Horvat and J.T. Miller is going to add more fuel to the fire.
Flashback to the 2022-23 season, and the Vancouver Canucks had a decision to make. A crowded salary cap outlook meant that keeping both J.T. Miller and Bo Horvat would be difficult. They needed to pick one to move forward with.
Horvat scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche. Horvat's point streak is up to six games (five goals, three assists). His third-period tally also stood as the game-winner.
Safe to say that the Vancouver Canucks are regretting their decision to sign J.T. Miller over Bo Horvat. A few weeks ago, I spoke with New York Islanders alternate captain Bo Horvat about the ongoing feud between his former Vancouver Canucks teammates J.T. Miller and Elias Pettersson.
The Tampa Bay Lightning host the New York Islanders after Brandon Hagel's two-goal game against the Los Angeles Kings in the Lightning's 3-0 win.
Bo Horvat scored twice in New York’s three-goal second period, and the Islanders beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 3-1.
Brock Nelson also scored and Kyle Palmieri added two assists for the Islanders, who have won six of their last eight games.
The Islanders, seven points behind the Bruins for the Eastern Conference’s second wild-card spot, moved within six points of the surging Blue Jackets and improved to 2-2-0 on their seven-game homestand, which continues Friday night against the Flyers.
