Bo Horvat Exits Islanders Game With Lower-Body Injury a Day After Canada Olympic Roster Nod

The Islanders plan a Friday medical evaluation following his third-period exit.

Overview

  • He left in the third period after getting tangled with Utah defenseman Sean Durzi and did not return.
  • Head coach Patrick Roy reported no postgame clarity, with Horvat set to see a doctor Friday.
  • New York lost 7-2 to the Mammoth as Horvat departed early in the final frame.
  • He recently missed five games in December with a lower-body issue, and it is unclear if this is related.
  • Hockey Canada has potential injury replacements under consideration who must remain in anti-doping testing pools, and his Olympic availability is uncertain with about five weeks before NHL players travel.
