Report: Sabres' Kyle Okposo in intensive care, undergoing tests

Concerning news out of Buffalo on Wednesday night.

Sabres forward Kyle Okposo has been hospitalized in intensive care and is undergoing tests due to an undetermined illness, according to the Associated Press.

Earlier in the day, head coach Dan Bylsma said he was "very concerned" about his player's health, announcing that Okposo wouldn't play against Montreal and was unlikely to play again this season.

The Sabres issued a statement Wednesday night, following the report:

"Kyle continues to be under the care of our doctors as he deals with symptoms from an illness. Out of respect to Kyle and his family, we will have no further comment at this time," it read.

The Buffalo News added that Okposo is in the Neuro Surgical ICU at Buffalo General Hospital.

Okposo missed most of March due to rib injury, returning to the lineup on March 25 before being sidelined again due to illness.
