Horvat Expected To Miss One To Three Weeks

It appears that the Islanders have avoided the worst-case scenario when it comes to injured center Bo Horvat.  Stefan Rosner of The Hockey News reports that the initial indication is that the veteran will miss one to three weeks with a lower-body injury but that there was no structural damage.  The injury occurred in the second period of Thursday’s game against Anaheim; he left the game and did not return.  Horvat is in the middle of a strong showing this season, potting 19 goals and 12 assists through 32 games.  Only three players have more goals than he does but that list will certainly be longer by the time he returns.
