"All of NY Islanders nation held their collective breath when Bo Horvat skated down the tunnel in the third period of a blowout loss to the Utah Mammoth last night, appearing as if he was nursing another leg injury. Just a day after being named to the Canadian Olympic roster, it looked like that dream was on the verge of being dashed for Horvat."
"Evaluated today, the Islanders and Horvat both avoided a worst-case scenario, and the Islanders' leading goal scorer and point producer will miss the next week and be re-evaluated. With the Islanders' offense floundering, failing to score more than two goals in the previous nine games, Horvat has been their brightest star on offense, scoring in two of his last four games since returning from injury."
Bo Horvat will miss approximately one week after being evaluated for a leg issue and will be re-evaluated in a week. The Islanders' offense has struggled, scoring more than two goals only rarely, and Horvat has been the team's leading goal scorer and point producer, contributing goals in two of his last four games since returning from injury. The team sits second in the Metropolitan Division and will rely on other players to step up offensively during Horvat's absence to maintain playoff position. Ilya Sorokin has been activated off injured reserve and will be the backup tomorrow against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
