Okposo (ribs) returned to practice Thursday and has a solid shot to play Saturday against the Maple Leafs, barring any setbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Okposo, who last suited up March 2, approaches his pending return with 19 goals and 43 points to his credit over 63 games. Look for further clarification of his status in advance of Saturday's tilt, a game in which William Carrier and Dmitry Kulikov are also candidates to return to the lineup.
