On today’s episode, John and Tim were joined by former seventh overall pick Dylan Cozens from the Buffalo Sabres. Cozens had a solid rookie season, with the Sabres scoring four goals and 13 points in 41 games. He earned a silver medal with Team Canada last season at the World Juniors and finished with the most goals (8).

As we all know, it wasn’t exactly a pleasant season on the ice for the Buffalo Sabres. With a record of 15-34-7, Buffalo finished last in the National Hockey League. However, Cozens explained on the show that it wasn’t all doom and gloom. After the team moved some veterans around the deadline, the Sabres started to pick up a few key victories here and there. Cozens expressed that what they learned in the latter part of the season will help them down the line.

One of his first welcome to the NHL moments was seeing Alex Ovechkin warm up in his first career game.
