After long weeks of lineup experiments, Vancouver Canucks head coach Willie Desjardins finally found the right line mate for Bo Horvat and Sven Baertschi: Alex Burrows. Unfortunately, Burrows will miss tonight’s match-up against the Colorado Avalanche because of a “scratch in his eye.”
Luckily, the Canucks were able to compensate this bad news with something positive: rookie winger Anton Rodin is back and will play on the Horvat-Baertschi line.
“I’m happy I’m back and those are two good players, so I have to play my best hockey,” Rodin said per the Canucks’ Twitter.
