Sabres' Kyle Okposo: Unlikely to play Tuesday with illness

Okposo (illness) is doubtful to play Tuesday against the Blue Jackets.

Analysis:

Only recently returned from a 10-game absence due to a rib injury, Okposo will likely watch this one from the sidelines. When he's been in the lineup, he's been rather productive, including notching a goal and five assists over his last four games. If he's unable to play in Columbus, Okposo will have another four days to recover, as the Sabres don't play again until Sunday at home against the Islanders.
