Bo Horvat will make his NHL debut against the Nashville Predators after the Vancouver Canucks recalled the rookie forward from the AHL Utica Comets on Sunday.

Horvat, 19, was assigned to Utica for conditioning Oct. 19 after appearing in five pre-season games, in which he registered one goal. Last season, the former first-rounder suited up for 54 games with the OHL London Knights, tallying 30 goals and 44 assists for a career-high 74 points.

The six-foot-one, 216-pound centre has no points through five games with the Comets.
