That doctor's appointment will go a long way in determining a timetable for Horton's debut with Columbus. The club has avoided setting one so far.
Horton can’t start skating, he said, until four months after the surgery, which would be mid-November. The club won’t put a timeline on his return, but it’s expected in December or January. If you have an IR spot in your league it might not be a bad idea to stash the six-time 20 goal scorer.
Horton said that he wanted to go to a smaller market and that is likely why he chose the Blue Jackets. He had a great playoffs with the Bruins this season and will bring that to a Columbus team who doesn't have very much playoff experience. He will join the likes of Marian Gaborik and Sergei Bobrovsky on an emerging team who is headed to the Eastern Conference next season.
Horton left last night's game in the first of the three overtimes and did not return. Tyler Seguin moved up from the third line to join David Krejci and Milan Lucic. Horton had one assist and was a plus-1 in 22:28 in Game 1.
Horton practiced in full yesterday and today so it looks very likely that he will play. If he does play he will play on his regular line with David Krejci and Milan Lucic. Horton had 17 points in 21 games in 2010-11; his only playoff appearance.
Horton missed the last five games of the regular season with an upper-body injury. He will very likely be back in the Bruins lineup tomorrow vs. the Maple Leafs.
Horton will miss his fifth straight game with an upper-body injury.
Horton will miss his fourth consecutive game with an upper-body injury.
Horton will miss his third straight game tonight. He could play on Saturday.
Horton missed Sunday's contest with a wrist injury that he suffered on Saturday vs. Pittsburgh.
Horton appeared to injure his hand/wrist in the first period of Saturday afternoon’s loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins in a fight with Jarome Iginla. He never returned to the game.
We will update as we learn more. Hopefully it's not serious.
