Cozens (upper body) is expected to miss Saturday's game against Toronto, according to Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550.
Cozens has three goals and seven points in 11 contests this year after setting career highs in 2022-23 with 31 markers and 68 points. He's regarded as day-to-day, according to Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News, so Cozens might still be an option Tuesday against Carolina. His absence could push Victor Olofsson, who was a healthy scratch in Buffalo's previous three games, into the lineup Saturday.
