BUFFALO — As soon as next season’s National Hockey League schedule is released, Kyle Okposo will start scrolling. He sure hopes to find that his Sabres will play one of the 12 regular-season games at Nassau Coliseum.
“When I heard that they were going back, it put a smile on my face for sure,” he said in the Sabres locker room after the morning skate Thursday. “A lot of memories in that barn. I would love to be part of one of those games.”
He has sold his house on Long Island, but part of his heart always will be there.
