Bo Horvat, Canada’s Olympic roster pick, left game with a lower-body injury, threatening his 2026 Winter Games chances.

New York Islanders center Bo Horvat sustained a lower-body injury during a 7-2 loss to the Utah Mammoth, exiting in the third period after a collision and favoring his left leg. He was named to Team Canada’s 2026 Winter Olympics roster just one day prior, raising concerns about his availability for the Games. Horvat, the Islanders’ leading scorer with 33 points in 35 games, had previously missed five games earlier this season due to a similar injury. A medical evaluation was scheduled for Friday, with no immediate update on his condition. The injury adds stress to an already struggling team with the NHL’s Olympic break approaching.
