Islanders' Bo Horvat: Eight points in last seven games
Rotowire
Horvat scored a goal and had two assists in a 6-3 win over Toronto on Saturday.
Horvat has eight points, including four goals, and 19 shots over his last seven games. The Isles have started to warm up with a 5-4-1 run across their last 10, and with Mathew Barzal and Anthony Duclair both back from injury, the team can finally ice a balanced top nine. Horvat will benefit from a decrease in pressure, and that could translate into more offensive production.

Horvat's goal drought reached 13 games, but he has four assists and a plus-5 rating over his last five contests.

After a five-game point drought, Horvat has tallied three assists over his last two appearances to give him 17 points on the season.

Islanders' Bo Horvat: Ends five-game slump with helper
Rotowire
Horvat posted an assist, four shots on goal and a minus-2 rating in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Bruins.
Horvat snapped a five-game point drought, though he has gone nine games without a goal, earning just three assists in that span. It's clear Horvat's offense has suffered with the absences of his season-opening linemates, Anthony Duclair (leg) and Mathew Barzal (upper body). Neither of their returns are imminent, so Horvat will have to focus on doing what he can for now. The 29-year-old center has contributed 15 points, 69 shots on net, 23 hits and a minus-3 rating over 23 appearances.
