Nathan Horton is "doing very well" in his recovery from shoulder surgery. "He's doing very well, recovering, doing his rehab," GM Jarmo Kekalainen said. "His arm's not in a sling anymore. He was at a golf tournament (not playing) yesterday, and in good spirits. So that's a good sign. We're going to be very patient and follow instructions given by the doctors. But nothing's changed in terms of the timeline. If it heals 100 percent before we expect it, that would be a bonus and it would be nice. But we're not going to expect that." He's expected to return in December or January.
