Okposo (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.

EDGE Analysis

Okposo was already essentially ruled out for the remainder of the Sabres' road trip, which ends Saturday in Boston. The 32-year-old winger's first expected chance to return is Monday versus the Flyers, but there's been no indication he'll be ready at that time.

Okposo (upper body) isn't expected to be available for the final three games of the Sabres' current four-game road trip, Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Okposo already missed Monday's game versus the Rangers, and it appears as though the veteran forward will miss at least three more contests. Either way, Okposo's only notched five points in 24 games this year, so his absence won't impact many fantasy lineups.

Okposo (upper body) will not be available for Monday's game against the Rangers, John Vogl of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Interim head coach Don Granato said that Okposo's injury flared up after practice but it's unclear exactly how severe the injury is. The 32-year-old didn't travel with the team but could join it during the current road trip. He'll be questionable for Wednesday's game in Pittsburgh.

Okposo scored Buffalo's only goal in Thursday's 4-1 loss to Boston.

EDGE Analysis

The tally represented Okposo's first goal in over a calendar year, the last time being Feb. 23, 2020. With one goal and four assists through 24 contests this season, Okposo's fantasy value is at one of the lowest levels of his career. That isn't likely to change as long as he remains on the Sabres' fourth line.

Okposo produced an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Okposo has been limited to bottom-six duties in 2020-21, and he's generated just two helpers in 19 games. The 32-year-old winger has added 24 shots on net, 19 hits and a minus-6 rating. His poor scoring pace continues a steady decline since he had 44 points in 76 games in 2017-18.

Okposo has yet to find the scoresheet in 10 appearances this season.

EDGE Analysis

Okposo is skating 13:05 on average per game, primarily utilized in the Sabres bottom six. In 10 contests he has no points, a minus-4 rating, and nine shots on goal. Okposo's offensive productive has steadily declined each season since joining Buffalo -- with injuries playing a role -- but it looks like his scoring will continue that trend this year.

Okposo (undisclosed) was activated from injured reserve Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Okposo is expected to skate on the fourth line in Sunday's game against the Capitals. The 32-year-old posted nine goals and 19 points over 52 games with the Sabres last season.

Okposo (undisclosed) is expected to make his season debut Sunday against the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

Okposo has missed the first five games of the campaign with an undisclosed issue, but he's on track to join the lineup for Sunday's matinee matchup with Washington, although he'll still have to be activated off injured reserve prior to puck drop. The 32-year-old winger will likely skate in a bottom-six role against the Caps.

Okposo (undisclosed) won't play Friday against Washington, John Vogl of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Although Okposo won't play Friday, coach Ralph Krueger told reporters there's a "higher chance" he'll be ready to make his season debut Sunday against the same Capitals club. Once cleared, the 32-year-old winger will slot into a bottom-six role.

Okposo (undisclosed) will join the Sabres' on their two-game road trip to Washington, John Vogl of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Okposo has yet to get onto the ice for the team this season and will still need to be activated off injured reserve before he can play. Still, the winger told reporters he was feeling 100 percent and figures to slot into a bottom-six role once back in the lineup. With Riley Sheahan (face) also in doubt, Casey Mittelstadt could make his season debut if Okposo can't play Friday.
