. That now gives the Islanders a 1-2 punch at center for the foreseeable future, since Mathew Barzal also signed a long-term extension at the start of this season.NHLI via Getty Images

The 27-year-old Horvat, who will play his first game with the Isles on Monday in Philadelphia, centered Barzal in Sunday’s practice and may play there for the rest of this season. Josh Bailey completed the top line. The Islanders traded a package of Anthony Beauvillier, Aatu Raty and a 2023 protected first-round pick to the Canucks for Horvat on Monday. Sunday, the day after the All-Star Game, was Horvat’s first practice with the team.

Congratulations
