Archetype and Ideal Role

Net-Front Scorer, 2nd Line Center

Horvat was the 11th-ranked Net-Front Scorer in Daily Faceoff‘s Archetype Rankings series before the season started. Ideally, Horvat slides into a team’s No. 2 center slot and their top power play unit in the bumper role where he has been lethal over the past three years. Horvat has scored 30 power play goals in that span, 13th most in the NHL, outpacing players like Brayden Point, John Tavares and Patrice Bergeron.
