HORVAT’S HOT STREAK
Tallying eight goals in his last five games (Oct. 28-Nov.8), Bo Horvat ties Mikael Samuelsson (2009.10, March) and Alexandre Burrows (2009.10, January) for the most goals over a five-game span and are the only Canucks to achieve this record in the last 26 years. Horvat is also the first player in franchise history to have five multi-goal games in the first 13 games of the season. He now ranks second in goals in the NHL this season at 12, only two behind Connor McDavid (14) for first place.
• With 24 goals in 29 games since March 9, 2022, Horvat has the highest goals per game (0.83) in the League during that stretch (minimum 5 GP).
• Scoring his fifth power play goal in his last three games on Nov. 3 vs ANA, Horvat tied Ryan Kesler and Henrik Sedin for 10th most power play goals in franchise history (61), accomplishing the feat in 64 fewer games than Kesler (583 GP vs 647 GP) and 588 fewer games than Henrik (1,171 GP). He also potted his 10th career shorthanded goal (EN), tying Kesler for seventh-most in club history.
HORVAT HITS 200
Picking up an assist on J.T. Miller’s first period goal on Nov. 5 vs NSH, Bo Horvat recorded his 200th career assist, become the 22nd Canuck in team history to hit that mark.
HATS OFF TO KUZ
Recording a hat-trick with three goals, including the game-winner, on Nov. 3 vs ANA, Andrei Kuzmenko became just the fourth Russian-born skater in Canucks history to record a hat-trick, joining Pavel Bure (9x), Alexander Mogilny (4x), and Igor Larionov (2x). The winger became the fourth Canucks player in the past 20 years to record three goals in a single frame joining Horvat (Oct. 22/19), Mikael Samuelsson (Mar. 9/10) and Markus Naslund (Oct. 21/02).
FIVE-POINT PETEY
Posting one goal and four assists on Nov. 3 vs ANA, Elias Pettersson recorded his third career five-point game, joining Alexander Mogilny as the only other player in Canucks history to do so. He currently leads the team in assists (10) and points (15) in 11 games so far this season.
MARTIN’S MAGICAL RUN
Turning aside 26 shots in an 8-5 victory over the Anaheim Ducks on Nov. 3, Spencer Martin improved his record with the Canucks to 5-0-4, passing Curt Ridley (6-0-2 in 1975.76) as the only goaltender in franchise history to earn at least a point in each of his first ten starts with the team.
• Martin extends this record to 6-0-4 with his regulation win against the Ottawa Senators on Nov. 8 facing 41 shots
BOUDREAU REACHES 600 WINS
Thanks to Vancouver’s 5-3 win on Oct. 27 at SEA, Canucks Head Coach Bruce Boudreau became the 22nd coach in NHL history and just the fifth active head coach to reach 600 regular season wins with a record of 600-322-127. Among coaches with 600 wins to their name, Boudreau’s 1,049 games coached were the second-fewest required to reach the mark, while his .633 points percentage ranks second only to Scotty Bowman (.657).
ELIAS PETTER-CENT
Netting his third goal of the season on Oct. 18 at CBJ, Elias Pettersson registered his 100th career NHL goal, requiring the second-fewest games in Canucks history to reach the mark among players to debut with the franchise, trailing only Pavel Bure (154 GP).
• The goal also tied Pettersson with Jake Guentzel (PIT) and Brayden Point (TBL) as the ninth-fastest active player to reach 100 career goals. He also is the first player from the 2017 NHL draft class to reach the milestone.
