Okposo to Miss 6-8 Weeks With Upper Body Injury

According to multiple reports, today at practice Islanders coach Jack Capuano announced that forward Kyle Okposo would miss 6-8 weeks with an upper body injury.  It is being rumored that his ailment is an eye injury but that has yet to be confirmed and likely won't be.

This is a big loss for the Islanders with Okposo being second on the team in points and will really test the teams depth until he returns.
