MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) -— Bo Horvat came through with the winning goal on a milestone night.
Horvat, playing in his 300th NHL game, scored the tiebreaking goal in the third period, leading the Vancouver Canucks to a 3-2 victory over the Florida Panthers on Saturday night.
“I think that was the icing on top,” Horvat said. “The win feels that much better.”
Horvat gave the Canucks their first lead when he took a nifty pass from Sven Baertschi in the left circle and sent a one-timer in at 6:11 of the final period.
“He couldn’t have made a better pass on his backhand to me, and all I had to do was tap it in from there,” Horvat said.
