PHILADELPHIA -- Bo Horvat had a new look in his first game with his new team. Yes, of course, the Islanders jersey took some getting used to -- Horvat said he was "really nervous" ahead of his debut -- but so did New York's ban on facial hair.
So he made sure to pack his gear -- and his razor. Horvat had to say goodbye to his scruff.
"My face looks like a little boy right now," he said.
The Islanders just hope he continues to look like an All-Star.
Kyle Palmieri and Mathew Barzal scored for the Islanders in their first game since they acquired Horvat in a trade, leading them to a 2-1 win over the Philadelphia Flyers on Monday night.
