Horvat scored a goal Tuesday in a 2-1 win over Vegas.

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.

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.
