After 39 games, Sherwood is on pace to record 483 hits. For reference, the all-time record is held by his former Nashville Predators teammate Lauzon, who threw 383 last season. If Sherwood can throw 483 hits, he will pass Alex Biega for 14th all-time in franchise history. At the moment, he currently sits 37th on the franchise's all-time list and has already passed current Canucks players such as Nils Höglander, Conor Garland and Filip Hronek.
