CALGARY, Alberta -- The Vancouver Canucks have a huge gap to fill for at least the next month.
They began life on Thursday without top center Bo Horvat, who is out with a broken foot. He was injured Tuesday in a win over Carolina and watched the Canucks lose meekly 4-1 to the Philadelphia Flyers two days later.
The Canucks (14-11-4) are in action again Saturday evening when they visit the Calgary Flames.
"When you lose top guys in your lineup someone else has to step up," Canucks coach Travis Green told reporters in Vancouver.
