Kyle Okposo News

Okposo suffered an upper-body injury vs. the Canadiens on Thursday and will miss at least a couple of weeks. J-S Dea was recalled from the AHL and is expected to replace Okposo in the lineup on Saturday afternoon.

Okposo was forced to leave Thursday's game vs. Montreal early (3:47 ATOI) and did not return. Head coach Ralph Krueger said that it's not a head injury, which is good news, however, Jean-Sebastien Dea was called up on Friday which suggests that Okposo will miss Saturday's game.

Okposo has missed the last 10 games with a concussion but is set to play Saturday in Vancouver. Okposo, who has just one goal and four assists in 19 games this season, will play on a line with Johan Larsson and Zemgus Girgensons.

Okposo has had trouble with concussions throughout his career so this is obviously scary news for the 31-year-old winger. Tage Thompson, who was called up to replace Okposo on Sunday, was hurt in that game so the Sabres will likely dig deeper into their farm system for replacements on Tuesday. Given his history with concussions, Okposo could be sidelined long-term.

Okposo left last night's game with an undisclosed injury after playing just 4:09 TOI and did not return. Tage Thompson was called-up from Rochester (AHL) and will fill in for Okposo if he can't go.

Okposo has missed the last four games with a concussion but will return to the lineup tonight in Toronto. Okposo will skate on the third line and returns with 10 goals and 12 assists (22 points) in 57 games this season.

Okposo left Thursday’s game after playing just 4:00 TOI following a heavy collision and was later diagnosed with a concussion. Justin Bailey was recalled from Rochester (AHL) on Friday and will replace Okposo in the lineup this afternoon.

Okposo missed Wednesday’s game in Tampa Bay because of the birth of his daughter, but will replace Evan Rodrigues (upper-body) tonight in Florida. Okposo has scored 11 goals and 26 assists (37 points) in 61 games this season and will skate on a line with Zemgus Girgensons and Nick Baptiste.

Okposo missed Tuesday’s practice to be with his wife and will be replaced by Seth Griffith tonight in Tampa Bay. Okposo will be back in the lineup on Friday.

Okposo missed the last two games with an illness, but will draw back into the lineup tonight in Vegas. Okposo has gotten off to a really slow start to the season, failing to record a point in six games—he has a minus-6 rating, four PIMS and 11 shots on goal. Tonight he will play on the second line with Ryan O’Reilly at centre and Sam Reinhart at left wing. He will also see time on the top power-play unit with Jack Eichel.

Okposo was listed as a game-time decision, but will play tonight in San Jose. It has been a slow start for the veteran winger, who comes into tonight with no points, six shots and a minus-6 rating.

Okposo missed the Sabres’ morning skate due to an illness, but has not been ruled out for tonight’s game in San Jose. Because of the late puck-drop, it might be wise to avoid the veteran winger, but there’s also a good chance that he will play. Okposo has no points, six shots and a minus-6 rating in three games this season.
