Top Isles prospect Okposo readies for NHL debut
Published 3/17/2008 at FOXSports.com News for NHL
Mike Sillinger hobbled on crutches through the New York Islanders dressing room to introduce himself to new teammate Kyle Okposo - a hot shot prospect half his age.
Okposo graciously greeted Sillinger on Monday as he pulled off his Islanders jersey for the first time after practice. Two years after he was chosen by New York with the No. 7 pick in the draft, Okposo is set to make his NHL debut Tuesday night when the host Islanders face the Toronto Maple Leafs.
