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.
Dealing with injury
Kozak is out of the lineup Friday versus the Jets and is reported dealing with an injury, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.
ANALYSIS
This will be Kozak's third straight absence. The 22-year-old will likely return to a bottom-six role once healthy, while Jordan Greenway and Josh Dunne will compete for playing time in Kozak's absence.
