Bo Horvat's contract offer was rejected by the Vancouver Canucks. HorVat is focused on the present season and helping the team. He apologized to his teammates for the way reports of his contract status have spilled into public view this week. He also talked about his family and his loyalty to the organization. Bruce Boudreau is happy with his team's performance. The Canucks are playing in Calgary. They are currently on a five-game winning streak. Vancouver is currently in the top-four in Western Canada. Their next game is against the Calgary Flames. Canucks play in a game on Saturday.

Bruce Boudreau has been the head coach of the Vancouver Canucks for 53 weeks. He has had a lot of pressure this season. He is disappointed and frustrated. Bo Horvat's statement is a surprise. The Canucks are struggling. They are currently in the bottom of their division. Boonen is not happy with the way the team is playing.

Vancouver has used two different lines at practice this week. On Sunday, the club practiced with J.T. Miller at centre and Brock Boeser on his wing. The team's best hockey this season has come with Miller on the wing, but questions still linger about where the team plans to use him long-term. Jack Studnicka and Nils Höglander are the only constant at Canucks practice. Elias Pettersson will play on Wednesday with Ilya Mikheyev and Andrei Kuzmenko. Vancouver plays the Calgary Flames on Thursday. It's possible that Høgland will be a healthy scratch.
