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. |

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. |

Cozens provided an assist in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Blackhawks. - Cozens has earned both of his helpers this season over the last two games. The 23-year-old center's slow start can be partially attributed to the Sabres' 0-for-21 mark on the power play. Cozens' line has also been a bit sluggish on offense, but he appears to be turning things around. He's added 23 shots on net, 12 hits, 12 PIM and a minus-2 rating over seven contests. |

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 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. |

Cozens picked up an assist in Tuesday's 7-3 win over Detroit but couldn't break out of a five-game goal drought despite firing five shots on net. - Cozens' inability to bend the twine hasn't been for a lack of trying, as he has put 16 shots on net during his five-game slump. The 23-year-old center almost certainly won't be matching last season's numbers when he put up 31 goals in 81 games and could even be in danger of missing the 20-goal threshold if he doesn't start scoring soon. |

The first-round pick from 2019 is clearly a part of the future, and his early usage suggests strong play could earn him a more steady top-six role compared to the third-line assignment he's been given initially. |

Cozens had a goal and an assist in Thursday's 7-4 loss to the Panthers. - Cozens has quietly put together a three-game goal-scoring streak, which is an encouraging sign for the rebuilding Sabres. The seventh-overall selection in the 2019 NHL Draft is developing into a consistent contributor with seven goals and 14 points in 23 games, but there's only so much he can do about the team's struggles around him, as Cozens' current goal streak has earned the Sabres just one point in the standings and a 10-17 goal differential over the past three games. |
