Horvat was dealt to the Islanders last week for Anthony Beauvillier, Aatu Raty and a top-12 protected 2023 first-round pick and has signed an eight-year, $68 Million ($8.5 Million AAV) with the Islanders Sunday. The 27-year-old is on pace for the best season of his career with his 31 goals, 23 assists, 143 SOG and 12 PIMs through 49 games with Vancouver prior to his trade. He has never surpassed 61 points in any of his previous eight NHL seasons.
Horvat suffered a lower-body injury last Thursday and will miss at least two weeks. This is a tough blow for a Canucks team that is fighting for a playoff spot in the Western Conference. Brock Boeser took Horvat's spot in the lineup on Monday.
Horvat missed five games while in COVID-19 protocol but will play Saturday in Calgary. It's unclear where he will slot into the lineup and who he will replace but Horvat comes in with 13 goals and 10 assists (23 points) in 38 games.
With Horvat coming out of the lineup, Elias Pettersson will move back to centre and Vasily Podkolzin will move back into the top-6.
Horvat left Monday's game vs. the Jets and will be a game-time decision for the rematch on Wednesday. Horvat participated in the Canucks' morning skate and head coach Travis Green called that a "good sign" but added that they'll "see if they're ready to go or not tonight."
Horvat has been out since December 5th but traveled with the team on their current road-trip and it looks like he may return to the lineup in Winnipeg on Sunday. Horvat had a really nice season going prior to getting hurt, collecting 20 points (10G / 10A) in his first 28 games—a 59-point pace. Horvat was featured on a line with Brock Boeser before the injury, but he was practicing with the Sedin Twins in Friday’s practice.
Horvat underwent an MRI on a leg injury that the suffered against the Hurricanes on Tuesday. The original prognosis is “not good” and it sounds like Horvat could miss up to a month and a half. Expect a full timetable to be released from the Canucks shortly.
