""It's nice to have him back," Roy said of Horvat. "But it's also nice to see the way the team played without him. It showed the depth that we have, and I was pretty happy with the way the team's been playing lately.""
""Right now, he looks good," Roy said. "Is he going to play tomorrow? Probably not. But we feel like he'll be back pretty soon, and he's feeling better every day.""
""Nobody has touched the ice for three days," Roy said. "It's about being ready to play a strong game.""
Bo Horvat returned to the lineup, stabilizing five-on-five play, faceoffs, the power play and the penalty kill. The team maintained its identity during Horvat's five-game absence as other players stepped into larger roles, demonstrating roster depth and resilience. Ilya Sorokin remains out with a small, nagging issue; he is traveling with the team and is unlikely to play Sunday but could return later in the week, possibly in Chicago. David Rittich is expected to start, with Marcus Hogberg available if needed. The team emphasized the need for focus and energy after a three-day ice layoff ahead of the Rangers game.
