“I’ve felt completely fine the whole time,” said Horvat, who has 23 points (13 goals, 10 assists) in 38 games this season. “No symptoms. Feeling ready to go, and looking forward to getting back on the ice tonight for a game.
“I think the most frustrating part is not having any symptoms and missing five games. I’m excited to be back and can’t wait to play tonight.
“It is frustrating. I felt like I missed five games for no reason. Obviously the protocols are put in place for a reason, but it was a frustrating time. Just putting that in the past and focusing on tonight.”
Demko, who came off the COVID protocol list two days ago, has posted a 9-3-0 record with a 2.06 goals-against average and .932 save percentage in his past 12 games.Ā
