Dylan Cozens (upper body) will return to the Sabres' lineup Friday after a two-game absence.

Cozens has not played since November 3rd, when he suffered an upper-body injury in a fight with Philadelphia Flyer Garnet Hathaway. Prior to his injury, Cozens was in the midst of a dry spell, being held pointless in three consecutive games. He is expected to return to a top-six role and top-powerplay designation.

The Sabres have signed Dylan Cozens to a seven-year contract extension worth $49.7 million ($7.1M AAV).

Cozens has 17 goals, 26 assists, 124 SOG, 24 PIMs and a +3 plus/minus and has earned himself a seven-year contract extension worth $49.7 million ($7.1M AAV). At the young age of 21 years old, Cozens is just six points away from achieving 100 career points on his career already.

The Sabres placed Dylan Cozens in COVID-19 protocol on Sunday.

Cozens and Mark Jankowski were placed on the COVID-19 protocol list on Sunday, joining Zemgus Girgensons, Jeff Skinner and Vinnie Hinostroza, who were on the list prior to the Christmas break. Cozens and Jankowski will likely be out until the middle of next week--the other three are eligible to come off earlier.

Cozens (upper-body) is questionable to play Wednesday.

Cozens left Monday's game vs. the Flyers with an upper-body injury and did not return. The Sabres did not provide much of an update on Cozens' status but said they didn't believe that it was season-ending. The fact that they even mentioned that, suggests that Cozens is going to miss some time, so don't expect to see him Wednesday.

Cozens will be back in the Sabres lineup on Tuesday.

Cozens did not play Sunday vs. the Flyers but will play Tuesday in New York. Cozens is expected to replace Casey Mittelstadt and skate on the third line with Cody Eakin and Tobias Rieder. The rookie forward has three goals and one assist in 14 games.

Cozens (COVID-19) will return to the Sabres lineup on Saturday.

Cozens has not played since January 31st but has returned from COVID-19 "flying" according to the Sabres' head coach Ralph Krueger. Cozens will most likely return to a top-6 role next to Eric Staal and comes in with two goals and one assist in his first nine career NHL games.

Cozens has been promoted from the taxi squad and is expected to play on Tuesday.

Cozens was sent to the taxi squad prior to Sunday's game so that the Sabres could get Casey Mittelstadt into the lineup. The two swapped spots on Tuesday morning, so look for Cozens to skate with Eric Staal and Victor Olofsson vs. the Rangers. The rookie has scored one goal with one assist in his first five career NHL games.
