Bruins forward Nathan Horton has stopped skating because of post-concussion syndrome.

According to coach Claude Julien, Horton’s symptoms, which have included headaches, returned once he resumed solo skates.

“He’s been pulled back,” Julien said. “He’s got some symptoms. So we’ve pulled him back.

Horton hasn’t played since Jan. 22.

“It’s hard for me to come out every day with a step forward, step backward. He’s back to square one,” Julien said. “We’re giving him some time here. Those symptoms, once he got on the ice, came back.”

Horton was injured and suffered a concussion after being hit by Philadelphia’s Tom Sestito.

He first skated on his own on Sunday.
