Overview

  • Horvat said he will play against the Sabres on Saturday after missing nine games, with Patrick Roy calling it the plan pending warmups.
  • He practiced on the top line with Emil Heineman and Jonathan Drouin and took first power-play reps ahead of his return.
  • Horvat leads New York with 21 goals and has 33 points in 36 games, while the Islanders went 5-3-1 without him and sit 27-18-5 in third place in the Metro.
  • Ryan Pulock missed practice, saw a doctor, and is listed day-to-day with an upper-body issue, leaving his availability for Saturday uncertain.
  • The team made no roster move Friday; adding a defenseman would require opening a spot or placing Pulock on injured reserve, which carries a minimum seven-day absence.
