Iain MacIntyre: Canucks' Horvat on second-line hot seat

There is so much maturity, character and professionalism to Bo Horvat that it is easy to forget he is only 20 years old. Until you look closely at his statistics.

The first quarter of Horvat’s second season in the National Hockey League has been much harder than the last quarter of his first year.

Not only is the Vancouver Canuck struggling to score, with just two goals and eight points through 22 games, but the centre from London, Ont., has become a defensive liability. It’s not really Horvat’s fault. He has played 90 games in his NHL career.
