Bo Horvat Out for Sabres Game, Misses Fourth Straight Due to Lower Body Injury

Bo Horvat (lower body) will miss Saturday's game against the Sabres, marking his fourth consecutive absence. The 30-year-old center did not travel with the team for the brief road trip. While his status for Tuesday's game versus the Devils is not yet ruled out, the Islanders may opt to rest him through the upcoming holiday break to prevent a premature return. This continued absence impacts the Islanders' lineup.
