"So far in 2025-26, the narrative is flipping, especially since the Islanders look like more of a high-octane team, with 43 goals in their first 13 games. Horvat has scored nine of those goals, putting him on pace for between 56 and 57 this season if he keeps up the same trajectory. He has been an impact player all season long."
"Looking at his possession metrics at even strength, Horvat is rocking a 59.3 Corsi For percentage and a 14.0 on-ice shooting percentage to go with 15 on-ice goals. These numbers alone show that Horvat is helping to create chances as much as he is taking them, and it's a major reason the Isles are turning into one of the better scoring units in hockey."
"Bo Horvat is one of the biggest reasons Islanders fans can believe in their team While the Islanders continue to retool and put faith into their young core, Horvat will be in town through 2031. That's great news for the Islanders, as Horvat, 30, is right in the middle of his prime and easily has another three or four elite seasons left in him, if not more."
Bo Horvat has emerged as a high-impact offensive force for the New York Islanders in 2025-26, scoring nine of the team's 43 goals through 13 games and pacing toward 56-57 goals. His even-strength possession metrics are exceptional, with a 59.3 Corsi For percentage and a 14.0 on-ice shooting percentage producing 15 on-ice goals. Horvat also maintains defensive value, with nine goals allowed on-ice and an 87.3 on-ice save percentage projecting a similar goals-allowed pace over 82 games. Horvat is under contract through 2031 and serves as a veteran leader for the team's young core.
