Islanders F Bo Horvat, a Canada Olympian, avoids serious injury

New York Islanders alternate captain Bo Horvat remains on track to play for Canada in the Olympics despite leaving Thursday's loss to the Utah Mammoth with an apparent lower-body injury.

Horvat will miss upcoming games against the Toronto Maple Leafs, New Jersey Devils and Nashville Predators and will be reevaluated in a week, Islanders coach Patrick Roy said Friday.

The 30-year-old center collided awkwardly with Mammoth defenseman Sean Durzi in the third period of New York's 7-2 blowout defeat.
