Nathan Horton returned to action on Saturday January 28.

The Bruins confirmed Nathan Horton has a mild concussion and will not play tonight at Washington. Coach Claude Julien said that Horton is experiencing headaches that signal a concussion. While he will not play tonight against the Caps, it is hoped the all-star break -- Boston will have six off days -- will give Horton the time he needs.

Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli has revealed that Nathan Horton's head injury is probably a mild concussion. Horton likely sustained the injury when Philadelphia's Tom Sestito blindsided him in the second period. This news is made all the more concerning by the fact that Horton was also diagnosed with a concussion during the Stanley Cup finals. Don't count on him playing on Tuesday, but after that the Bruins aren't scheduled to play until January 31st.

Nathan Horton didn't play in the third period on Sunday after he sustained a head injury against the Philadelphia Flyers. Philadelphia's Tom Sestito caught him with a blindside hit early in the second period and Horton reacted unfavorably to the play, which earned him an interference penalty. Coach Claude Julien wasn't sure if Horton would be available for Tuesday's game in Washington and it's uncertain if he suffered a dreaded concussion either. "I guess we'll find out in the next few days here," Julien said. "But we certainly didn't allow him to come back and play this game." Horton was diagnosed with a severe concussion during the Stanley Cup finals, so it can't be ruled out as a possibility until we get more information.

Nathan Horton suffered an injury during Sunday's match against the Philadelphia Flyers. CSNNE.com's Joe Haggerty believes that Horton might be sidelined because of a hit by Tom Sestito. No word on the severity of the issue other than that he won't be back during Sunday's game.

Nathan Horton scored a goal in the Bruins' 4-1 win over the Devils Thursday night. David Krejci passed the puck from the left circle in front of the net and Horton redirected it past Martin Brodeur for his 17th goal of the season. The big Bruins winger now has 32 points in 44 games.

Nathan Horton scored two goals in the Bruins' 5-3 loss to Tampa Bay Tuesday night. Boston coach Claude Julien called out Horton recently for not shooting the puck enough and the winger responded with a pair of marker and six shots on net. Daniel Paille also chipped in with a goal in the losing effort.

Boston coach Claude Julien wants to see more from Nathan Horton, who has registered only one shot in each of the past three games. "Horts has got to pick up his game. No ifs or buts about it," Julien said. "A guy his size has got to get more physically involved. He's got to compete a lot harder. He's skating hard. You see him on the backcheck, he skates hard. But we need more from him. At the same time, when he's emotionally engaged, he scores goals. He's a difference-maker. He's got to find his game." Horton has 14 goals and 15 assists in 42 games this season.

Nathan Horton tallied two goals in Boston's 5-3 win versus Winnipeg. The big Bruins winger has posted five goals and one assist in his last four games to give him 28 points in 39 contests this season. Horton's linemates, David Krejci and Milan Lucic, were in on both of his markers in the contest. Tyler Seguin, Benoit Pouliot and Shawn Thornton scored Boston's other goals in the win.

Nathan Horton scored twice and added an assist in the Bruins' 9-0 total annihilation of the Flames Thursday night. This game was as one-sided as it gets with five Boston players tallying three points each. Patrice Bergeron also scored two goals and added a helper, while David Krejci and Tyler Seguin scored a goal and recorded two assists. Benoit Pouliot also had a strong game registering three assists. The Bruins outshot the Flames 42-25, won 37 of 53 faceoffs, and were full measure for the victory.
