Okposo (eye) was scheduled to skate before the Islanders' practice Monday morning, Arthur Staple of Newsday reports. It hasn't been revealed if that plan was executed, but it's nonetheless a positive sign that Okposo is at least warranting consideration to get back on the ice. He'll likely require a few days of skating on his own before receiving clearance to practice, potentially putting him on pace to return to action by mid-to-late March.
