Vancouver Canucks players to watch

J.T. Miller

Miller is one of the two Canucks the Stars need to keep in check tomorrow night. He currently leads the team in assists with nine. The Stars don’t need him to get comfortable out on the ice or else he could set up a ton of goals for Vancouver tomorrow night.

Bo Horvat

Horvat currently leads the team with four goals so far this season. I’m pretty sure Miller set him up on a couple of those. Stars have to keep a close eye on him during the game because I could see him score tomorrow night.
