Ullmark, Okposo activated from injured reserve

The Buffalo Sabres have activated forward Kyle Okposo and goaltender Linus Ullmark from injured reserve, and have recalled forward Jean-Sebastien Dea from the taxi squad for today's game against the Boston Bruins.
Forward C.J. Smith and goaltender Michael Houser have been loaned to the taxi squad.

Ullmark has been out since sustaining a lower-body injury on February 25. He leads the team with five wins, a .919 save percentage and a 2.44 goals-against average in 12 games this season.
Okposo has missed the past three games after a neck injury flared up after practice last Sunday.
Dea will wear No. 38 after wearing No. 15 in the three games he played for Buffalo last season. In 32 career NHL games, the 27-year-old center has recorded seven points (5+2). He leads the Rochester Americans with 12 points (4+8) in nine games and was the team's leading scorer in 2019-20 with 39 points (15+24) in 57 games.
Stay tuned for Sabres interim coach Don Granato's pregame comments from TD Garden.
Faceoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. on MSG and WGR 550. Pregame coverage on MSG begins at 12:30.
