The Buffalo Sabres' big offseason free-agent signing appears ready to step into the lineup.

Kyle Okposo, who missed the season opener with a bruised knee, skated Saturday with Sam Reinhart and Ryan O'Reilly, and is expected to make his regular-season debut with the club Sunday in Edmonton.

Buffalo's equipment manager posted a photo from the Oilers' new visitors locker room in advance of the game, and Okposo's No. 21 can be seen hanging on the left with an alternate captain's "A" on the left shoulder.

Okposo's last game against the Oilers was a great success; he tied a single-game career high with four points, including the second hat trick of his career, while playing with the New York Islanders back in February.

The 28-year-old is entering the first season of a seven-year, $42-million contract.
