Horton Suffers Concussion Setback, Back To 'Square One'

BOSTON (CBS) -- The road to recovery for injured winger Nathan Horton is getting longer, as Bruins coach Claude Julien announced Friday that Horton has suffered setbacks in his workouts as he works his way back from a concussion.

"He's got some symptoms so he's been pulled back," Julien said of Horton. "He's back to square one and we're giving him some time here."

Horton had been exercising and lightly skating, but his progression -- or lack thereof -- didn't provide much encouragement.

"Those symptoms, once he got back on the ice, they came back," Julien said.

Horton suffered the concussion on Jan. 22 in Philadelphia after a hit to the head by Tom Sestito. There was no penalty on the play, and Brendan Shanahan did not issue supplemental discipline.

It is the second concussion for the 26-year-old Horton in the span of eight months, as he was knocked out of the Stanley Cup Final in Game 3 against Vancouver.

The Bruins have lost four of six games since Horton's injury. They've scored just 1.5 goals per game in that span, nearly two full goals fewer than their season average.
