Okposo back for Islanders against Maple Leafs

The New York Islanders will have forward Kyle Okposo available when they face the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday (7 p.m. ET, TSN).

Okposo missed the Islanders' game Monday against the Dallas Stars to be with his wife for the birth of the couple's daughter, Elliana.

While the Islanders didn't miss him much in their 7-3 win against the Stars, it's certainly nice to have a player second on the club in goals (16) and points (42) back in the lineup.

Here are the lineups each team likely will use Tuesday:
