Top Tyson Kozak News

  • Sabres' Tyson Kozak: Available for Game 5

    Kozak (undisclosed) is available for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Bruins, Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald reports.

    Kozak left Sunday's Game 4 victory due to an unspecified injury, but he'll officially be able to suit up two days later. Across seven appearances this month, he's recorded three assists, 21 hits and six blocked shots while averaging 10:57 of ice time.

  • Sabres' Tyson Kozak: Probable for Game 5

    Kozak (undisclosed) is probable for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Bruins, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.

    Kozak exited Sunday's 6-1 victory in Game 4 due to an unspecified injury. Head coach Lindy Ruff said after the game that the team talked about Kozak returning, so it isn't very surprising that the 23-year-old will likely be able to suit up Tuesday as the Sabres attempt to close out the first-round series. Across his first two postseason appearances this year, he's recorded an assist, four hits and two blocked shots while averaging 9:47 of ice time.

  • Sabres' Tyson Kozak: Departs Sunday's game in Boston

    Kozak (undisclosed) didn't finish Sunday's 6-1 win over the Bruins in Game 4, per Justin Alpert and Jourdon LaBarber of the Sabres' official site.

    Kozak generated an even-strength assist and a plus-1rating in 10:59 of ice time prior to exiting in the third period Sunday. Head coach Lindy Ruff said that the team talked about Kozak returning to the game, but the Sabres elected to keep the forward out since they were up 6-0 in the final frame. Until there is an update on his status, Kozak should be considered day-to-day ahead of puck drop in Buffalo for Game 5 on Tuesday.

  • Sabres' Tyson Kozak: Garners helper in win

    Kozak notched an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Thursday's 5-0 win over the Blue Jackets.

    Kozak has filled a part-time role since returning to action March 17 after a six-game absence due to an undisclosed injury. With the helper, he has five points in 44 outings, matching his total from 21 games a year ago. Kozak has tacked on 29 shots on net, 111 hits, 35 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating this season. Given his production and role, he is unlikely to be an everyday player during the Sabres' playoff run.

  • Sabres' Tyson Kozak: Available to play

    Kozak (undisclosed) will be an option to play against Vegas on Tuesday, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.

    Following a six-game absence due to an injury, Kozak could occupy a fourth-line role against the Golden Knights if Alex Tuch (illness) is unavailable to play. The 23-year-old Kozak has two goals, four points, 26 shots on net, 33 blocked shots and 98 hits across 39 appearances this season.

    Kozak (undisclosed) isn't available for Saturday's game against Nashville, per Rachel Lenzi of The Buffalo News.

Kozak has two goals, four points, two PIM, 98 hits and 33 blocks in 39 appearances in 2025-26. Kozak could serve in a bottom-six capacity once he's ready to return.

    Kozak has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Penguins for an undisclosed reason, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.

    While the exact reason for Kozak's absence isn't yet clear, head coach Lindy Ruff said after Thursday's morning skate that the 23-year-old is day-to-day and remained in Buffalo while the Sabres traveled to Pittsburgh. Josh Dunne is slated to take his place in the lineup Thursday, while Kozak's next opportunity to suit up will be Saturday against the Predators.

    Kozak (upper body) is expected to be a healthy scratch for Tuesday's game against Vancouver, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.

    Kozak has missed the last seven games due to injury, but he appears to be healthy enough to return after being removed from the team's injury list. Kozak has collected two goals, four points, 19 shots on net, 23 blocked shots and 62 hits in 24 appearances this season.

    Kozak (upper body) is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Stars, Rachel Lenzi of The Buffalo News reports.

    Kozak will miss his sixth straight game. The 23-year-old has practiced with the Sabres this week, so it's safe to assume he's still in the day-to-day range without a clear update from the team. His next chance to play is Saturday versus the Blue Jackets.

    Kozak (upper body) won't play Saturday versus the Bruins, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.

    Kozak is set to miss a fourth straight game. He was involved in a morning skate Tuesday, so his absence might not last much longer. Fantasy managers won't need to track Kozak up to his return, as he's likely to fill a bottom-six role once healthy.

  • Sabres' Tyson Kozak: Game-time call Saturday

    Kozak (upper body) will be a game-time decision versus the Islanders on Saturday, Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald reports.

    Kozak is expected to participate in the morning skate, which will help determine his status for Saturday's contest. Considering the 22-year-old center has gone 18 games without a goal, adding just two helpers over that stretch, few fantasy managers figure to be impacted by his potential absence.
