Cozens tallied two goals and added an assist in Monday's 4-2 win over Tampa Bay.
EDGE Analysis
Cozens opened the scoring 1:26 into the first period, firing a loose puck over the shoulder of Andrei Vasilevskiy before adding a shorthanded marker in the second.

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.
EDGE Analysis
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 23-year-old Cozens has been productive for the better part of a month now, tallying four goals and 11 points in his last 10 contests. Following a prolonged slump earlier this year, Cozens is now up to 33 points (11 goals, 22 assists) through 52 games.

Cozens scored a goal and added two assists in a 5-2 win over San Jose on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
He got the primary helper on the Sabres' first goal after attempting a wraparound that John-Jason Peterka punched in on a rebound. Cozen's pass to Peterka in the third period resulted in a one-timer that San Jose netminder Kaapo Kahkonen couldn't snag. Finally, the 22-year-old forward scored an empty-netter to seal Buffalo's win. Cozens heads into the break riding a four-game point streak (three goals, four assists).

Cozens scored a goal on four shots, added an assist and went plus-3 in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Cozens helped out on the Sabres' first goal and then added an insurance tally to round out the scoring. The 22-year-old has three goals and three helpers over his last six outings. He was reunited with John-Jason Peterka and Jack Quinn as his wingers for Wednesday's game, and that trio could stick after combined for four goals in the comeback win. Cozens is up to nine tallies, 26 points, 113 shots on net, 40 hits, 31 PIM and a minus-4 rating through 45 contests overall.

Cozens is day-to-day with an upper-body injury and won't play versus Chicago on Thursday, per Bleacher Report's Joe Yerdon.
EDGE Analysis
Cozens had a terrific season in 2022-23, scoring 31 times while adding 37 assists in 81 games. He has struggled this season, scoring only seven times with 15 helpers in 42 contests. Look for Eric Robinson to enter the lineup on the fourth line with Cozens unavailable to play.
