The New York Islanders enjoyed a rousing 4-1 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks Thursday night inside UBS Arena.
New York Islanders captain Bo Horvat scored two goals before suffering an injury from a late hit in a 4-1 win over the Chicago Blackhawks. After Horvat scored an empty-net goal late in the contest, Blackhawks forward Frank Nazar delivered a hit directly to Horvat's head. Nazar received a five-minute major penalty and a game misconduct for the hit at UBS Arena.
Horvat is likely in concussion protocol ahead of New York's upcoming game against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The team is expected to provide an update on his status at practice. Meanwhile, Islanders forward Mathew Barzal skated individually but remains unlikely to play Saturday.
