Okposo may be taken off the top line with John Tavares during Saturday's game against the Ducks, according to Newsday.

Analysis:

The Islanders offense has been struggling mightily of late with only 10 goals in their last seven games, and Okposo has been part of the problem, as he's tallied only one goal since his return from an eye injury March 10. Okposo is not the sole reason for the Isles' scoring woes, but could nonetheless benefit from a move down to the second line with Frans Nielsen, who he has had success next to in the past.
