Okposo set up a pair of goals in Monday's 4-2 win over the visiting Jets.

EDGE Analysis

The apples were Okposo's first points on the season, and consequently helped the Islanders to their first victory in their new arena, the Barclays Center. Despite having put up 51 points in an injury-shortened 60-game campaign last year, there seems to be some pessimism surrounding the 27-year-old, primarily as to how well he'll fare if he's split up with John Tavares. He isn't playing with Tavares now, but Okposo is a tremendous player in his own right who will collect his points regardless of how many young scoring options the Islanders have at forward. He's a major volume shooter as well -- his rate of 3.25 shots per game in 2014-15 would have given him 266 SOG over a full season, which would have been good for 11th in the NHL.
