The Sabres beat the Isles on Saturday.
Comrie made a key third-period save with a stellar right-pad stop on Pierre Engvall from in close to keep the game scoreless midway through the final period.
Okposo opened the scoring with 6:29 left as he notched his 10th of the season. Islanders defenseman Scott Mayfield failed to clear the puck and Buffalo capitalized. Sabres defenseman Ilya Lyubushkin sent a fluttering puck across the slot and Okposo controlled the pass and fired a wrist shot past Varlamov's right pad, off the post and in.
One of Varlamov's best saves came early in the third period when he denied Dylan Cozen's breakaway attempt and the game remained 0-0. The Russian goaltender played well in his first start since March 11.
