Okposo (not injury related) is expected back in the lineup against Nashville on Thursday, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.

EDGE Analysis

Okposo will return from a two-game stint on the sidelines after entering the league's COVID-19 protocols. Prior to getting hurt, the 33-year-old winger managed two points in his previous five tilts while logging 18:29 of ice time per game. With the Sabres seemingly poised to get most of their forward complement back, Okposo could struggle to grab a top-six role.
