Nathan Horton (shoulder) took some contact during Monday's practice. "It didn't hurt to get hit," Horton said. "I'm not going to get hit much harder than that in a game. Those were pretty good runs. It makes me feel really good, actually. It tells me I'm closer than I thought I was." Horton might end up playing during Columbus' upcoming four-game road trip. That stint starts Tuesday night and will end with a game on Monday.
