VANCOUVER Lining up to face Montreal Canadiens goalie Carey Price in a shootout Wednesday night, Bo Horvat s approach was simple. Basically close my eyes and shoot.

Horvat, who scored two goals and an assist in regulation, beat the all-star goaltender with a shot between the legs to secure the 6-5 victory in the Canucks home opener.
