Cozens scored a goal and added an assist in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
He helped set up John-Jason Peterka for the game's opening tally midway through the first period, and Cozens then capped the scoring with an empty-netter just before the final horn. The performance snapped a brief four-game point drought for Cozens, and the 22-year-old is having trouble regaining his 2022-23 form, scoring seven goals and 22 points in 40 contests this season.

Cozens scored a goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 9-4 loss to the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
He helped set up Rasmus Dahlin just 30 seconds into the game for the opening tally, and Cozens also wired home Buffalo's final goal midway through the third period, but the team got thoroughly out played in between. It's the second multi-point performance in the last three games for Cozens, and after a quiet November the 22-year-old has two goals and nine points over the last 11 contests.

Cozens scored a goal on three shots, added two assists and went plus-3 in Friday's 5-2 win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Cozens ended his 11-game goal drought with the opening tally in the second period. He went on to set up both of Casey Mittelstadt's goals in the third, one which tied the game at 2-2 and the other going into an empty net. Cozens has maintained a top-six role despite his sluggish offense and the Sabres' return to health up front in recent weeks. For the year, the 22-year-old center has five goals, 11 helpers, 74 shots on net, 26 hits, 25 PIM and a minus-4 rating over 29 appearances.

Cozens (upper body) is expected to miss Saturday's game against Toronto, according to Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550.
EDGE Analysis
Cozens has three goals and seven points in 11 contests this year after setting career highs in 2022-23 with 31 markers and 68 points. He's regarded as day-to-day, according to Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News, so Cozens might still be an option Tuesday against Carolina. His absence could push Victor Olofsson, who was a healthy scratch in Buffalo's previous three games, into the lineup Saturday.
