For Kyle Okposo, the ambiguous "upper-body" label truly doesn't suffice.
The injury - expected to cost the New York Islanders forward the next six-to-eight weeks - is reportedly a detached retina, according to ESPN's Katie Strang.
Okposo was riding high into the All-Star break, tallying five goals and seven points in his final three games before having his season derailed by the puzzling injury.
The Islanders have dropped two of three games without their second-leading scorer.
