Bo Horvat Remains Strong Contender for Team Canada Olympic Roster Despite Injury

Islanders forward Bo Horvat remains a strong contender for Team Canada's 2026 Winter Olympics roster, despite a current lower-body injury. He is day-to-day with a 1-3 week timetable, expected back well before the Feb. 2 start. Horvat, with 19 goals and 12 assists in 32 games and a 57.8% face-off win rate, is vying for a centerman spot, likely on the fourth line. He's compared to Mark Scheifele and Nick Suzuki for the final spots. While some Islanders fans worry about injury risk, GM Mathieu Darche will not prevent him from representing his country.
