Horvat Won't Join Isles On Road, Could Return Next Weekend

It’s now unlikely that Islanders center Bo Horvat will join the team on the back half of their road trip, relays Newsday’s Andrew Gross (Twitter links). The veteran has been dealing with a lower-body injury for the last couple of weeks but since it was doubtful that he’d be cleared to play on the trip, they’ve opted to keep him home. It should be noted that he has not suffered a setback in his recovery. Now, the soft target for a return, if all goes well, will be next Saturday against Buffalo. Despite missing 11 games so far, Horvat still leads the team in goals with 21 and sits second in points with 33.
