Tied 2-2 in the third period, the Canucks caught a break on a power play. Granlund's attempted dump in caromed off Eriksson at the Tampa Bay blue line and deflected to a surprised Vasilevskiy. The puck bounced off the Lightning goalie and right to Horvat, who buried his ninth goal of the season over the glove at 7:46.
The goal was Horvat's first goal and second point in the last eight games.
