Okposo is considered week-to-week with an upper-body injury.

EDGE Analysis

Given the expected length of his absence, it wouldn't be surprising to see Okposo land on injured reserve in the coming days. The veteran winger has been getting top-six minutes this year, so his absence will leave a sizable hole up front for the Sabres for the foreseeable future. Rasmus Asplund may get the first crack at replacing Okposo, who's picked up 23 points through 37 contests this season, on the second line Thursday versus Dallas.
