Coach Claude Julien understands that Nathan Horton's slow start may have something to do with the winger's return to action from the concussion he sustained during the playoffs. "I think anybody who comes back from that and has missed that amount of time is going to be slow coming back," said Julien. "It's almost a natural process. You saw [Patrice] Bergeron take almost half a year, three-quarters of a year." Horton has five points and 26 penalty minutes in 11 games so far this campaign and he admitted to not feeling exactly like himself just yet.
