Nathan Horton has contributed one assist in his past four games.
However, coach Claude Julien isn't all that concerned because the team is playing well at the moment and Horton, as well as linemates, are getting their chances. "If they were playing badly, spending most of their time in our own end, or being lazy and not having anything happening, it would be a different situation," Julien said. "But I think they're getting their chances. Look at Horton the other night. If he had it on his stick, he would have an open net. It slipped off his stick. A lot of good things are happening. Right now, whether it's a little snakebitten or lacking a little bit of confidence in that area, I like their work ethic. With time, I'm sure it's going to turn around." David Krejci hasn't scored in his last nine games, while Milan Lucic has gone eight contests without a goal.
