Buffalo Sabres forward Kyle Okposo will make his return to playing competitive hockey with this summer's Da Beauty League.
Okposo was hospitalized in intensive care in early April and missed the culmination of the Sabres' season. He played in a total of 65 games during the 2016-17 season, scoring 19 goals and adding 26 assists. His 45 points tied him for fourth on the team.
Reports in mid-June indicated Okposo was expected to be ready for the Sabres' training camp. A return to a trivial summer league bodes well for his 2017-18 outlook in the NHL - and for his personal health.
