Cozens produced a goal and an assist in Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to Vancouver. Cozens helped his club earn a point Friday -- he cut Vancouver's lead to 3-2 before registering the primary assist on Alex Tuch's game-tying goal at 14:57 of the third period. That point for Buffalo could be crucial down the line for a team that is battling to make the playoffs for the first time since the 2010-11 season. Cozens has the ability to be an important player for the Sabres -- he accounted for 31 goals and 68 points across 81 regular-season games in 2022-23, but followed that up with 18 goals and 47 points over 79 regular-season contests in 2023-24. Cozens has notched five goals and five assists through 23 games.

Cozens scored a goal on eight shots and added three hits in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Sharks. Cozens had one of his best games of the year, ending a four-game point drought. The 23-year-old center tied the game at 2-2 in the third period, laying the foundation for the Sabres' rally to their third straight win. He's up to four goals, eight points, 61 shots on net, 46 hits, 14 blocked shots, 16 PIM and a minus-5 rating through 21 appearances. Cozens is shooting just 6.6 percent this year while increasing his shot volume from 2023-24, but that should improve.

Cozens potted a goal and earned a power-play assist in Monday's 7-5 loss to Montreal. Cozens' points tied the game at 2-2 and 4-4, but the Canadiens pulled ahead of the Sabres in the third period. The 23-year-old forward has lit the lamp in three of his last six appearances following a 10-game goal drought to begin the season. Cozens has seven points through 16 outings in 2024-25 and sits second on the Sabres with 46 shots on net.

Cozens scored a goal and took four shots in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Rangers. Cozens has found the back of the net in two of his last four contests. Those have been his only two goals in the campaign, and while the 23-year-old has been playing better in recent weeks after a slow start to the season, he's not producing enough -- or with any kind of consistency -- to be trusted as a reliable fantasy option across all formats.

Cozens scored a power-play goal, added three hits and logged two PIM in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Islanders. Cozens opened the season with no points over five games. His offense has started to come around, but he hadn't scored until his opening tally 9:03 into Friday's game. He's collected four points, 33 shots on net, 22 hits, 16 PIM and a minus-3 rating through 11 contests overall. Given Cozens has maintained a healthy shot volume, his struggles appear to be simply bad luck rather than poor performance, and he remains in a spot to succeed on the second line and first power-play unit.
