MRI reveals no fracture for Canucks' Horvat
by Justin Cuthbert from on (#2CJ47)
Vancouver Canucks center Bo Horvat appears to have avoided a potentially serious injury, as an MRI performed Monday revealed only a deep bruise, Sportsnet's John Shannon reports.
Horvat blocked a shot from Jack Eichel in the closing moments of Sunday's win over the Buffalo Sabres.
He was clearly in discomfort, but was able to complete his shift.
The All-Star continues to lead the Canucks, currently seeded fourth in the wild-card chase, with 17 goals and 38 points.
It's unclear if he'll be in the lineup Tuesday in Pittsburgh.
