Islanders' Bo Horvat: 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.

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.
