Sabres' Dylan Cozens: Two points Friday
Dylan 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.

Sabres' Dylan Cozens: Nabs helper in loss
Dylan Cozens notched an assist, three shots on goal, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Blue Jackets.The assist was Cozens' first point in six games this season, and it's safe to say Thursday was one of his better games. He's added 22 shots on net, 10 hits, 12 PIM and a minus-3 rating so far, though he's maintained a second-line role. Head coach Lindy Ruff sent a message by scratching Jack Quinn for Thursday's game, but it could have just as easily been Cozens or Zach Benson, who were joined by Jiri Kulich on the second line. Getting more production from the young players will be key in turning around the Buffalo Sabres' 1-4-1 start, and at 23 years old, Cozens should be setting the example for his linemates since he has a 31-goal, 68-point season under his belt from 2022-23.
