Okposo dialed up an assist in Tuesday's 4-1 road loss to the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Okposo is off to a decent start this season, as he's accumulated three helpers over six games in his typical top-six role. The former Islander -- he was drafted by New York seventh overall in 2006 -- posted an egregious minus-34 rating last season, but he's elevated his two-way game to the tune of a minus-1 mark through the first six games of the 2018-19 campaign. There's still room for improvement from Okposo defensively, but let it be known that he's starting 58.1 percent of his 5-on-5 shifts in the offensive zone as a nice tradeoff for fantasy owners.

Okposo registered two assists, two hits and one blocked shot in Monday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Okposo had a secondary assist on Jack Eichel's power-play tally in the first period, and he found Marco Scandella for the game-winning goal last in the second frame. The veteran winger recorded 18:00 of ice time, but he has bounced between the second and third lines this season, making for a turbulent fantasy play.

After playing on Jack Eichel's line in the previous game, Okposo will start tonight's contest lower on the depth chart.

EDGE Analysis

Okposo will start with Casey Mittelstadt and C.J. Smith on the third line. Kyle has one goal in two preseason games, while his linemates have combined for just a single point. They will look to bring more offense to the table against the Blue Jackets.

Okposo scored a pair of goals, including one on the power play, in a 7-4 victory over the Predators on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Those were his only goals of March, as Okposo went scoreless over the last 10 games. That about sums up Okposo's second season with the Sabres -- long stretches of nothing and then sudden bursts of value. Okposo has scored 13 goals, which is his fewest since the lockout season, and he owns a career-worst minus-32 rating. Not at all what owners were expecting before the season.

Okposo was named the Sabres' nominee for the Masterton Trophy this season.

EDGE Analysis

Awarded to the play who shows the most dedication, perseverance and sportsmanship to hockey, Okposo was awarded based on his triumphant return from a scary situation last year when he was hospitalized due to allergies from medication. It's been another trying season for Okposo, who has scored just 11 goals in 70 games and has a career-worst minus-31 rating. However, he continues to be a valued veteran in the lineup and he's expected to return to the Sabres next season. He has five years remaining on his seven-year deal.

Okposo (concussion) will return to action versus the Predators on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Okposo returns after a three-game absence due to his concussion. The winger needs just two point to register a fifth consecutive 40-plus point campaign. While some formats won't factor it in, the 29-year-old's career-worst plus/minus rating (minus-29) will be a concern to many fantasy owners. Okposo appears to be headed toward a bottom-six role versus Nashville -- at least to start the game -- but could see his role change depending on how his conditioning holds up.

Okposo (concussion) could return for Monday's game against the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Okposo has missed three games with this head injury, and he has scored 11 goals and 38 points in the previous 65 outings. The veteran winger excels on the power play too, posting four goals and 18 points while averaging 3:18 of ice time with the man advantage. If he's able to return Monday, Okposo will be a hot commodity in the fantasy realm and should be considered a solid mid-tier asset in most settings.

Okposo (concussion) will not play in Saturday's game against the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Okposo returned to practice Friday, but it appears he will take in at least a couple more practice sessions before returning to the lineup. His next opportunity to do so arrives Tuesday against the Predators and it wouldn't be surprising if he's ready to go for the matchup. However, the Sabres have little incentive to rush the winger back to a club owning the worst record in the league.

Okposo (concussion) skated with the team Friday morning.

EDGE Analysis

Okposo has missed the past two games due to a concussion, which he suffered March 8 against Ottawa. There is no date set for Okposo's return, but taking part in practice is a good sign, especially since this is his second concussion in two seasons. His status for Saturday's game against Chicago is questionable, and there's no hurry to rush him back with the Sabres sitting in the league basement. Through 65 games this season Okposo has scored 11 goals and 38 points with a minus-29 rating. He has five years remaining on his seven-year deal.

Okposo left Thursday's game against Ottawa after a collision and has since been diagnosed with a concussion.

EDGE Analysis

There is no timetable for Okposo's return, and with the Sabres clearly out of playoff contention, it's likely the team will play it safe. Okposo has scored just 11 goals and 38 points in 65 games this season, his lowest goal total in a full 82-game season and couldn't build on his 19-goal, 45-point season last year. The track record for the Sabres' big free agent splashes have not been good recently, and he has five years remaining on his seven-year deal. Evan Rodrigues (upper body) had his status upgraded to day-to-day so there may be no need to call up anyone from the AHL, but if they do, Alex Nylander is a top candidate.
