Okposo (general soreness) missed practice Friday, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Sabres and Okposo will re-evaluate Saturday as to whether or not he will be healthy enough to play later that evening against Boston. Okposo has a goal and nine points in 14 games this season, with his goal and six helpers coming in the last seven contests.

Okposo provided a pair of assists and fired three shots on goal in Monday's 8-3 win over the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Okposo has been exactly what the Sabres' top line has needed after a slow start to the year. He's dished four helpers in his last two games, and his presence alongside Tage Thompson and Jeff Skinner has brought life to their scoring as well. Okposo is up to six assists, 19 shots on net and a plus-3 rating through nine contests overall, and he could have some streaming appeal in both season-long and DFS formats as long as he stays on the top line.

Okposo notched an assist and five shots on goal in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Okposo led the Sabres in shots, but he wasn't able to find twine. He did manage his second assist in five games this year, helping out on Zemgus Girgensons' empty-net tally. Okposo has added nine shots, three hits and a plus-2 rating in a bottom-six role, though the captain should have no trouble staying in the lineup as long as he's healthy.

Okposo (upper body) has been medically cleared and will play in Thursday's regular-season opener versus the Senators, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Okposo was dealing with an upper-body injury toward the end of training camp, but he's 100 percent healthy heading into Thursday night's matchup with Ottawa. The 34-year-old winger bounced back in a big way in 2021-22, racking up 21 goals, 45 points and 174 shots on net through 74 games after collecting just 13 points through 35 contests in 2020-21.

Okposo (upper body) will not skate for a few days after leaving Tuesday's game versus the Hurricanes, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Okposo didn't play in the third period of Tuesday's contest, and it's been confirmed he'll be off the ice for a while. The 34-year-old's status for the start of the year should be considered in doubt given the start of the Sabres' season is next Thursday. If he misses time, Anders Bjork or Vinnie Hinostroza could be in the Opening Night lineup.

Okposo (leg) "would have been good to play next week" had the Sabres made the playoffs, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Okposo will undoubtedly be 100 percent healthy in time for next season's training camp. The 34-year-old vet had a bounce-back year in 2021-22, racking up 21 goals and 45 points through 74 contests.

Okposo (leg) will not play Friday against Chicago, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Okposo will miss the final game of the 2021-22 campaign with a leg issue, but it didn't appear to be a very serious issue. The 34-year-old winger tallied 21 goals and 45 points through 74 games this season. It was his best offensive output since the 2016-17 season.

Okposo (leg) could be available to play versus Chicago on Friday, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

While Okposo won't be available for Thursday's matchup with Boston, it seems the veteran will try to give it a go for the second game of the back-to-back Friday. It does seem somewhat pointless to press Okposo into service in a game that has little meaning outside of pride. If the St. Paul native can snag one more point this year, he'll register his highest season total since 2015-16 when he was with the Islanders. He currently has 45 points in 74 games.

Okposo sustained a leg injury at Monday's practice session and is being evaluated, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Okposo has found his offensive game of late, as he has recorded three goals, one assist and 13 shots over his last six outings. If the winger misses any time, we will likely see Cody Eakin draw into the lineup, though the Sabres could also call up a player from the minors. At this point, even a relatively minor injury could see Okposo miss the final two games of the season, especially with the team out of playoff contention.

Okposo had two assists in Wednesday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Okposo assisted on both of Buffalo's goals, and Zemgus Girgensons was on the receiving end of both helpers. The 33-year-old winger has put together a nice little three-game point streak, as these assists come on the heels of consecutive games with a goal for Okposo.
