Okposo tallied two assists in Monday's 5-2 win over Tampa Bay.
EDGE Analysis
The pair of apples give Okposo 39 on the season, which, combined with his 21 goals, bring the 27-year-old into 60-plus-point territory for the second time in his career. He's clipped along at a pace of 0.79 points per game through 76 games and has even provided a bit of snarl with 51 PIM, making Okposo a valuable fantasy contributor in all formats.

Okposo lit the lamp and added three hits in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
Okposo has found twine on six different occasions in March, easily his most productive month around the crease this season. The winger is still six shy of his career-high 27 markers despite the recent surge, although to the delight of fantasy owners, the 2006 first-round pick may reach 60 points for the second time in his career -- he sits at 57 to date.

Okposo netted the team's lone goal in Monday's loss to the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
Okposo's 20th of the year knotted up the score early in the second period, but Philadelphia ended up pulling away with the final three tallies of the game. The 27-year-old has 10 points (five goals, five assists) in his last 11 games, as he continues to work his way onto the scoresheet with regularity.

Okposo scored a power-play goal in the third period of Wednesday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Penguins, extending his point streak to three games.
EDGE Analysis
Okposo's tally tied the game with 5:25 to play, but ultimately wasn't enough as his Islanders fell in a shootout. The Minnesota-born winger continues to put the puck in the net on a consistent basis, and has now scored four goals in his last seven appearances.

Okposo scored a power-play goal and added a helper in a 6-4 victory over the Rangers on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Okposo has a three-game point streak going -- registering two goals and four assists over that stretch. The 27-year-old winger now has 52 total points, including 20 on the power play. While those numbers are good, his minus-8 rating is not. However, fantasy owners know what they're getting with Okposo, as he hasn't finished a season with a positive plus-minus since 2011.

Okposo registered a plus-2 rating, as he scored the game-winning goal and tallied an assist in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win against the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
It's not often that Okposo is able to notch a positive rating, as the 27-year-old sports a minus-8 clip on the year. In fact, the former first-round pick has only been positive for a season twice in his career as a member of the Islanders, a span of nine campaigns. You have to take the good with the bad, however, as Okposo sits at 50 points to date -- his third straight season of 50-plus.

Okposo and the Islanders have had no talks regarding a new contract, Arthur Staple of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Okposo can be a free agent after the season and it's at least a little but surprising that his agent and the Islanders aren't talking about a contract extension. The NHL trade deadline is February 29 and if no deal is made then you are sure to hear his name being mentioned in possible deals as the Islanders would seem to be foolish just to let him get away and not receive anything back in return.

Okposo tallied a hat-trick and also provided an assist in Sunday's win over the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
It was a monster performance for Okposo, with two of the goals coming on the power play, as he was a big part of the Islanders' easy 8-1 win. The 27-year-old is now up to 41 points and is on his way to eclipsing the 60-point mark for the second time in his career.

Okposo scored a goal and added a helper Friday versus the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
This is Okposo's second game with a goal and an assist in three contests. Overall, he has 12 goals and 35 points in 44 games, which is about what you would expect from Okposo at this point of his career.

Okposo picked up a power-play assist, scored into an empty net and picked up two penalty minutes Thursday against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
It's funny how what's really kind of an unremarkable game -- a secondary assist, a hooking penalty and a goal with no one in the way -- can provide so much fantasy value. Okposo had been cool lately, with three straight games off the scoresheet, and he's still a bit short of the scoring pace he put together over the last two seasons, but 33 points in 42 games is a pretty solid fantasy contribution.
