Krejci ‘pretty sure’ Horton will play Game 2

After leaving Game 1 with a suspected shoulder injury, Nathan Horton was back at practice on Friday -- though he didn’t talk to reporters afterward.

That was left to linemate David Krejci.

"[Horton] looked great,” Krejci told reporters, as per TSN’s Farhan Lalji. “I’m pretty sure he’s going to play tomorrow.”

Horton was injured after pushing Niklas Hjalmarsson while the B’s were on the power play during the first overtime session. While it seemed a harmless looking play, Horton was visibly in pain and immediately left the ice.

On Thursday, a report surfaced that Horton aggravated a shoulder issue that stemmed back to his days in Florida.

Bruins head coach Claude Julien didn’t offer a status update on Horton, but did leave reporters with a fairly definitive statement.

“If he feels good tomorrow, he’s in the lineup,” Julien said. “It’s as simple as that.”
