Despite the challenging year the Buffalo Sabres just endured, which included a two-week COVID pause, a coaching change, and another last-place finish, the youth on this team showed the potential ahead for the organization. One of those players who stood out regularly on the ice last season was Dylan Cozens.
Selected in the first round (7th overall) of the 2019 NHL Entry Draft, Cozens garnered 13 points (4+9) in 41 games played during his rookie season in Buffalo.
