Okposo (lower body) will be in the lineup against the Senators on Thursday, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.
Scouting Report
Is working to get his career back on track after being derailed by injuries, concussions and illness, which is not easy for a player on the back side of 30. The veteran right-winger is an excellent teammate and a good shooter who can still contribute offensively in the right circumstances. Is only average defensively and his durability questions remain.
Long Range Potential: Useful winger and veteran presence (when healthy).
