Cozens scored a goal, put four shots on net and dished out two hits in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Sharks.

With the solid performance, the 24-year-old center is up to eight goals, 16 points, 47 shots on goal and 64 hits in 21 games this season. He's helped fill the void of physicality without Brady Tkachuk (thumb) in the lineup and is on pace to smash his career high of 205 hits that he posted in 82 games between the Sabres and Senators last year. Cozens has also heated up offensively, with six points in his last six games. He is set up nicely to get back toward the 68-point mark he had with Buffalo in the 2022-23 campaign, making him a strong asset in nearly all fantasy formats.

Senators' Dylan Cozens: Acquired via trade
Rotowire
Cozens, along with Dennis Gilbert and a 2026 second-round pick, were brought in by the Senators in a trade with the Sabres on Friday in exchange for Josh Norris and Jacob Bernard-Docker.
Cozens' production has underwhelmed this season, generating just 11 goals and 20 helpers in 61 games -- a far cry from the 68 points he put up back in 2022-23.
