Bo Horvat, Elias Pettersson cherish opportunity to play together one last time at NHL all-star game
Playoff highs. Crushing defeats. And a miserable 2022-23 season.
“It’s gonna be fun and weird and awesome at the same time,” Vancouver’s former captain said Thursday at the league’s sun-kissed media day accented by Florida’s Atlantic Coast serving as a postcard backdrop. “I don’t really know how to approach it or how to talk about it.” The 27-year-old is putting in a banner year, having already matched his career-high for goals set last season and chugging along at a 90-point pace.
The London, Ont., native signed his first Islanders jersey sporting his new digits – No. 14 instead of No. 53 – for a fan Thursday afternoon.Pettersson, less enthusiastic a few metres away, said the rumblings surrounding his now-former teammate’s future prepared him for what was to come. “Really anxious to meet the guys and get my bearings,” Horvat said. “[All-star week] is great, but I kind of want to get back it.”
