Okposo lit the lamp in Thursday's loss to Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
The goal marks Okposo's first point in the past 10 games. The struggles got him demoted to the fourth line, further hindering his value. The winger has just 26 points in 73 contests this season. It's been a disappointing year, after he posted 44 points in 2017-18. His best days may be behind him.

Okposo set up a goal in Friday's overtime win over Pittsburgh.
EDGE Analysis
The assist marks Okposo's first point since returning from a concussion. It's certainly encouraging to see him contributing, considering his concussion history could have forced him to take a slower recovery. He has taken a step back though, sitting at 23 points in 60 games, compared to last year where he compiled 44 points in 76 contests.

Okposo (concussion) will return to Buffalo's lineup Monday versus the Maple Leafs, Paul Hendrick of the Maple Leafs' official site report.
EDGE Analysis
The Sabres' forward missed four games with a concussion, but luckily for Okposo, he feels good enough to return Monday against Toronto. The veteran winger has been inconsistent in 2018-19, only managing 22 points in 57 games this season.

Okposo (concussion) is tentatively in Buffalo's lineup against the Maple Leafs on Monday based on the projected lines, Lance Lysowski of TBN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Technically, Okposo is still on injured reserve at the moment, but if this report is true, that will change before game time. The 30-year-old forward has missed four games with this concussion issue. While he isn't the scorer he used to be, Okposo still has 10 goals and 22 points in 57 games, including seven points with the extra man.

The Sabres transferred Okposo (concussion) to injured reserve Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Okposo's move is mostly transactional, opening a spot on the roster for the team's recalls of Danny O'Regan and Scott Wilson. The winger will be eligible to return whenever he is deemed healthy, though there's currently no timeline for him to do so.

Okposo (concussion) does not have an estimated return date, John Vogl of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
This marks Okposo's third concussion in as many seasons, so he's being as cautious as possible. He's been in constant contact with doctors on how to exercise and what the next steps should be. Concussions aren't easy to gauge, especially with a player that has a history with them, so don't expect him back in the lineup anytime soon. Ideally he returns this season and helps the Sabres in their playoff push, but he can't afford to put his long-term health at risk in the process.

Okposo has been diagnosed with a concussion, John Vogl of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
While a concussion for any athlete can be scary, Okposo's history is particularly terrifying given the inexplicable episode that occurred to him in 2017. The winger eventually returned but wound up enduring another last season that kept him sidelined for a little less than two weeks. Okposo's latest concussion marks his third in as many seasons and could lead to concerns regarding the winger's future mental health if he were to continue playing. It's best to consider Okposo out indefinitely until more information is collected surrounding his situation.

Okposo (undisclosed) will return to Buffalo to be re-evaluated, which rules him out for the Sabres' next two contests.
EDGE Analysis
Okposo already missed Saturday's clash with the Devils and will now be sidelined another two games. The winger was providing some decent depth scoring prior to getting hurt, as he recorded three goals and one assist in his last 10 contests. With Okposo sidelined, C.J. Smith figures to continue getting looks in the lineup.
