GAME HISTORY vs SEATTLE

• Apr. 26/22: VAN 5 vs SEA 2

• Feb. 21/22: VAN 5 vs SEA 2

• Jan. 1/22: VAN 5 at SEA 2

• Oct. 23/21: VAN 4 at SEA 2

NOSE FOR THE NET

Bo Horvat has 18 goals in his last 25 games since March 9, 2022, ranking first in the NHL in goals per game (0.72) during that stretch (min. 7 GP). His four goals through seven games played this season are tied with J.T. Miller for the most by a Canucks skater.

CLOSING IN ON 600

Currently holding a career regular season coaching record of 599-322-127, Bruce Boudreau is just one win shy of becoming the 22nd coach in NHL history and just the fifth active head coach to reach 600 regular season wins. Among coaches with 600 wins to their name, Boudreau's .633 points percentage would rank 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.

SHORTHANDED SHOOTER

Opening the scoring with a shorthanded tally on Oct. 18 at CBJ, Bo Horvat passed Matt Cooke for sole possession of eighth-most shorthanded goals in franchise history (9), and now sits just one back of tying Ryan Kesler (10) for seventh-most. Pavel Bure holds the club record with 24 shorthanded goals.

SPENCE-TACULAR

Turning aside 29 shots in an overtime defeat on Oct. 18 at CBJ, Spencer Martin improved his record with the Canucks to 3-0-4, and now sits just one game back of tying 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 eight starts with the team.

HOMEGROWN TALENT

Making his 137th NHL regular season appearance on Oct. 12 at EDM, Thatcher Demko gained sole possession of most games played in franchise history by a Canucks-drafted goaltender, surpassing Glen Hanlon's mark of 136 games. Demko also currently stands just five wins away from tying Gary Smith for sixth-most wins among all goalies in Canucks history.
