Brock Nelson and Bo Horvat have literally faced off plenty of times in their careers. On Thursday, they shook hands, as Nelson was the first Islander to welcome Horvat to his new team - in person.
"I just met Bo for the first time," Nelson said during his media availability at NHL All-Star Weekend. "I'm mean familiar with him and his game. He's going to bring huge elements to our team up front, depth, scoring. He does a little bit of everything, kills [penalties], power play, five on five."
"Bo is a really good player," Ilya Sorokin said. "I hope he'll help us."
