Team officials say Sabres forward Kyle Okposo was not at practice today for Buffalo.
Head coach Phil Housley says Okposo’s wife went into labor, so is at the hospital with her.
Team officials said earlier in the day that they would recall a forward from Rochester for their trip to Florida.
The Sabres are set to face the Lightning on Wednesday and the Panthers on Friday.
