According to the Reporter for the Buffalo News, Lance Lysowski:
Okposo continued to play the entire game despite the score and obviously his discomfort or it would have been reported more during the game. The injury probably became worse since he finished the game. Okposo will be absent for a few weeks now as a result.
The Buffalo Sabres account confirmed the news that Kyle Okposo will miss multiple weeks due to a lower-body injury.
Like the previous seasons, Okposo, the captain of the Sabres, has primarily played as an important role on Buffalo's third or fourth line. He is the leader for the club, plays the second powerplay, and is one of the best checking forwards.
He is averaging 13:58 minutes of ice time per game this season and has 14 points in 38 games, eight of those being goals.
