Bo Horvat - NHL News & Rumors

Targeting Saturday return Horvat (lower body) is hoping to be ready to face the Rangers on Saturday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

Impact This news effectively rules Horvat out for Tuesday's tilt versus the Devils but is a step in the right direction. In his seven games prior to getting hurt, the 30-year-old center racked up five goals and one assist, including a trio of power-play points. With Horvat's continued absence, Jean-Gabriel Pageau figures to continue filling a second-line role.

Not going to Buffalo Horvat (lower body) won't be in the lineup for Saturday's game versus the Sabres, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

Impact Horvat will miss his fourth straight game by not going on the brief road trip. The 30-year-old's status hasn't been ruled out for Tuesday's game versus the Devils, but it wouldn't be surprising if the Islanders let him rest through the holiday break to avoid rushing back.

Won't play Friday Horvat (lower body) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Canucks, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

Impact Although Horvat will miss a third consecutive game due to his lower-body injury Friday, head coach Patrick Roy hasn't yet ruled the 30-year-old out for Saturday's matchup in Buffalo. Even if Horvat is unable to play against the Sabres, it doesn't appear as though the Islanders expect him to miss much more time.

Remains sidelined Horvat (lower body) will not be in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Detroit.

Impact Horvat will miss his second straight game after sustaining a lower-body injury Thursday against the Ducks. Mathew Barzal's (undisclosed) status for Tuesday's matchup is up in the air, so the Islanders will have some shuffling to do up the middle if they end up being without their two most dynamic forwards against the Red Wings. Horvat's next opportunity to suit up will be in the first half of a back-to-back against the Canucks on Friday.

Set to miss out Saturday Horvat (lower body) remains day-to-day and is not expected to be ready to face the Lightning on Saturday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

Impact With Horvat out of the lineup, Mathew Barzal will move to the top line while Jean-Gabriel Pageau shifts back to center after playing wing the last few times out. For his part, the 30-year-old Horvat has been rolling of late, scoring five goals on 24 shots, including two with the man advantage, in his last seven outings.

Islanders' Horvat leaves game with lower body injury

Islanders leading scorer Bo Horvat suffered a lower-body injury about seven minutes into the second period in Thursday’s game against Anaheim and did not return to the contest

DECEMBER 12 • Associated Press

Exits Thursday's game Horvat sustained a lower-body injury and won't return to Thursday's game against Anaheim.

Impact Horvat had two shots on 10:01 of ice time before exiting the game. He has 19 goals and 31 points through 31 appearances in 2025-26. Calum Ritchie might shift up to to the Islanders' top six if Horvat isn't an option Saturday versus Tampa Bay.

DECEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE

Pots pair of goals Tuesday Horvat scored two goals, including one on the power play, placed five shots on net and served two PIM in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout win over Vegas.

Impact Horvat tallied the first goal for New York near the end of the opening period before he gave the Isles a 4-3 lead midway through the third with a power-play strike. After Tuesday's pair of scores, he is up to 19 goals, 31 points and 109 shots on goal through 31 games this season. The 30-year-old center is having one of his best starts to a season of his 12-year career. With 19 twine finders, Horvast is tied for third in the league and trails Colorado's Nathan MacKinnon by five goals for the top spot. If Horvat can maintain his current goal-scoring pace, he not only will be in the conversation for the Rocket Richard Trophy, but also should be comfortably on track to set a new career high in points if he can surpass the 70 tallies he accumulated during the 2022-23 campaign.

NYI at TBL 12/6: Bo Horvat | New York Islanders Bo Horvat addressed the media ahead of tonight's matchup against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

DECEMBER 6 • NHL.COM

Goal streak at three games Horvat tallied a goal, recorded an assist, fired six shots on net and blocked three shots in Thursday's 6-3 win over Colorado.

Impact Horvat continued his elite goal-scoring campaign Thursday with an even strength tally to open up the second period. He also picked up a secondary helper late in the period on Matthew Barzal's power-play goal. With the pair of points, Horvat has 17 goals, 12 assists and 100 shots on goal through 28 games this season. He has found the back of the net more than most players this season, as the 30-year-old center is currently tied for fifth in goals across the NHL. He's not only on pace for the best goal-scoring numbers of his career, but could also set a new career high in points if he can surpass the 70 he accumulated during the 2022-23 campaign. As long as he continues to fire the puck with an elite volume of attempts on goal, Horvat could make the 2025-26 season one of the best scoring seasons for the Islanders in recent years.
