We have another Tuesday night full of hockey action with 10 NHL games on the docket. The New York Islanders host the Boston Bruins in one of the early games at

As ironic as it is, Vancouver’s target for center depth on Long Island shouldn’t be Barzal, but rather the player they traded there nearly three years ago. Many will agree that, while trading former Canucks captain Bo Horvat felt necessary at the time, in hindsight, he’s the type of player Vancouver sorely needs right now.
