2025 Fantasy Outlook
Kozak played 21 games with Buffalo during the 2024-25 regular season, recording three goals and two assists. Fresh off of signing a three-year deal in the offseason, the 22-year-old is no longer exempt from waivers. Still, he could spend most of the 2025-26 season with AHL Rochester, where he had 18 points in 39 games, including playoffs, last campaign. Assuming he continues to play well at the minor-league level, Kozak stands to be one of the top call-up options for the Sabres. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a three-year, $2.325 million contract with the Sabres in July of 2025.
Probable for Game 5
Kozak (undisclosed) is probable for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Bruins, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Kozak exited Sunday's 6-1 victory in Game 4 due to an unspecified injury. Head coach Lindy Ruff said after the game that the team talked about Kozak returning, so it isn't very surprising that the 23-year-old will likely be able to suit up Tuesday as the Sabres attempt to close out the first-round series. Across his first two postseason appearances this year, he's recorded an assist, four hits and two blocked shots while averaging 9:47 of ice time.
