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.
Won't play Sunday
Kozak (undisclosed) wasn't in line rushes ahead of Sunday's contest against the Lightning and won't play, Rachel Lenzi of The Buffalo News reports.
