Kyle Okposo Returns to the Lineup
7 years agoBuffalo Sabres right wing Kyle Okposo (concussion) will return to action in Monday’s game against the Nashville Predators. Okposo has missed the last four games while recovering from a concussion suffered against the Ottawa Senators. This is the second consecutive season that Okposo has missed time due to a concussion, though he has said that he is not dealing with as severe symptoms as he did last year. Okposo has played up and down the lineup this year, which has limited his opportunities, but he was playing on the top power-play unit prior to his injury. It has certainly been a down year for Okposo, who only has 38 points in 65 games this season, which puts him on pace for his lowest full-season point total of his career. Okposo has provided limited fantasy value, however, Buffalo has a favorable schedule this week as they play four games, with three being on nights that few other teams play. If Okposo regains his position on the top power-play unit, he could be worth a look on nights where options are limited.
