Islanders' Bo Horvat: Deemed day-to-day
Rotowire
Horvat (lower body) is considered day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's matchup with Minnesota, Stefen Rosner of The Hockey News reports.

The 28-year-old pivot may end up being a game-time call for Tuesday's matchup with the Wild. If Horvat, who's picked up four goals and nine points through 10 contests this season, can't play, Oliver Wahlstrom or Julien Gauthier will likely draw into the lineup.

Islanders' Bo Horvat: Earns power-play helper
Rotowire
Horvat recorded a power-play assist in Friday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Blue Jackets.
The former Canucks captain averaged 3.2 points per 60 minutes through 49 games with Vancouver prior to his trade to the Islanders, which was far and away the best stretch of his career. However, the change of scenery has been rather challenging for Horvat. He has five goals and the same number of assists through 21 games with the Isles. which is a far cry from the pace that he'd been on previously. Horvat has a career-worst shooting percentage (8.1) with his new team, and the absence of Mathew Barzal (lower body) makes that top line less of a threat.

Islanders' Bo Horvat: Goalless streak at five games
Rotowire
Horvat has now gone five straight games without a goal after failing to wrinkle the twine in the 5-1 loss to the Capitals on Saturday.
Horvat has only one goal in his last eight and two in his last 12 games. It probably shouldn't be surprising that he has been slumping without linemate Mathew Barzal (knee) for most of that time. Barzal still doesn't have a timetable, so Horvat will have to figure out how to light the lamp with a rotating cast of characters flanking him for the immediate future.
