Rotowire
Horvat collected two assists in the Islanders' 4-0 victory over Philadelphia on Saturday.
Horvat has a goal and four points over his last two contests.

The skilled forward contributed 31 goals and 54 points in 49 contests with the Canucks this season, but he's been limited to seven goals and 15 points through 28 outings since the trade.

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.
Horvat scored a goal on three shots in Sunday's 4-0 win over Winnipeg.
Horvat opened the scoring Sunday with a shorthanded tally in the first period, beating David Rittich with a long-range wrist shot. The goal would stand as the game-winner in New York's shutout victory. Horvat is up to eight points (five goals, three assists) in 11 games since he was traded to the Islanders. He has 36 goals and 26 assists overall in 50 games this season.

He's not slowing down as the Islanders' new first-line center, and he's worked well with Mathew Barzal playing on his wing.

Islanders' Bo Horvat: Extended by Islanders
Rotowire
Horvat signed an eight-year, $68 million contract extension with the Islanders on Sunday.
Horvat, who was acquired Jan. 30 from Vancouver, will now be on Long Island for the foreseeable future. The extension was a deserved one for the 27-year-old center, who has already tied his career high with 31 goals while adding 23 assists through 49 games on the season. Horvat will make his much-anticipated Islanders debut Monday against the Flyers.
The Canucks traded Horvat to the Islanders in exchange for Anthony Beauvillier, Aatu Raty and a first-round draft pick Monday.
Horvat is in the midst of a career year and was one of the top names on the trade market this season. He's racked up 31 goals (tied for his career best) and 54 points through 49 games this season, with 18 of those points coming on the power play. The 27-year-old will likely slot in as the Islanders' second-line center under Mathew Barzal while seeing time on the top power-play unit. Horvat is set to hit unrestricted free agency this offseason.
