Bo Horvat Named New Islanders Captain
The New York Islanders have made Bo Horvat their 16th captain, succeeding Anders Lee, who left for Utah after eight seasons wearing the 'C'.
Bo Horvat is the new captain of the New York Islanders, the club announced, replacing Anders Lee in the role.
The 31-year-old Forward becomes the 16th captain in franchise history. Lee wore the "C" for the previous eight seasons before joining Utah this off-season.
Horvat has been with the Islanders since 2023, arriving from Vancouver, where he also served as captain. Last season he put up 57 points (31 goals, 26 assists) in 68 regular-season games.
The Islanders' AHL affiliate, Bridgeport, sit fourth in their division with no points from 72 games this campaign.
