Sent to AHL Kozak was loaned to AHL Rochester on Sunday.

Impact Kozak was a healthy scratch in Saturday's 6-4 loss to Nashville after missing two games due to an illness. He has produced one goal, six shots on net, 16 blocked shots and 11 hits in 11 NHL outings this season. Kozak could return to the Sabres following the conclusion of the 4 Nations Face-Off.

Removed from IR Kozak (illness) was activated from injured reserve Saturday, per the NHL media site.

Impact Kozak will presumably return from a two-game absence in Saturday's matchup against Nashville. He has generated one goal, six shots on net, 16 blocked shots and 11 hits in 11 NHL appearances this season. Kozak could replace Beck Malenstyn (back) in Saturday's lineup.

Game-time decision versus Preds Kozak (illness) will be a game-time call for Saturday's matchup with Nashville, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.

Impact Kozak was on the ice for practice Friday, which could clear the way for him to return to the lineup against the Predators. If Kozak does play, it figures to be in a bottom-six role. Prior to getting sick, the 22-year-old center was stuck in a nine-game pointless streak dating back to Dec. 7 versus Utah. Kozak will need to be activated off injured reserve before he can rejoin the lineup, which could mean a demotion to the minors for Isak Rosen.

Surfaces on IR Kozak (illness) was placed on injured reserve Monday, per the NHL media site.

Impact Buffalo recalled Isak Rosen from AHL Rochester in a corresponding move. Kozak will miss at least Tuesday's game against Columbus after landing on the IR list. He has one goal, six shots on net, 16 blocked shots and 11 hits in 11 NHL appearances this season.

Impact Kozak will take a roster spot from Nicolas Aube-Kubel, who was waived Monday and sent to AHL Rochester on Tuesday. Kozak has scored a goal on five shots across nine appearances with Buffalo this season. Kozak will look to draw into the lineup when the Sabres host the Bruins on Tuesday.

Returns to minors Kozak was reassigned to AHL Rochester on Saturday.

Impact Ryan McLeod (upper body) was taken off injured reserve in a corresponding move. Kozak has a goal, seven hits and 14 blocks in nine appearances with Buffalo in 2024-25. The 22-year-old also has six goals and 12 points in 24 outings with Rochester.

Summoned from minors Kozak was recalled from AHL Rochester on Tuesday.

Impact Kozak was sent down Monday, but he's back with the big club in short order. Now that Jiri Kulich is healthy, Kozak will likely serve as Buffalo's 13th forward while Jordan Greenway (undisclosed) and Ryan McLeod (upper body) are on injured reserve.

Sent to minors Kozak was assigned to AHL Rochester on Monday.

Recalled by Buffalo Kozak was recalled from AHL Rochester on Wednesday.

Impact Kozak made three appearances for the Sabres in early December and recorded a goal, two hits and two blocked shots while averaging 9:55 of ice time. He'll rejoin the NHL club after Konsta Helenius and Anton Wahlberg were sent down Wednesday, but it seems unlikely that Kozak will have a sizable role during his time with the Sabres.

Headed back to minors Kozak was reassigned to AHL Rochester on Tuesday.

Impact Kozak has played in three games for the Sabres this season in which he notched one goal on two shots, two hits and two blocks while averaging 9:55 of ice time. Kozak's demotion could indicate that either Sam Lafferty (lower body) or Rasmus Dahlin (back) could be ready to come off injured reserve ahead of Wednesday's matchup with the Rangers.

Gets first NHL goal Kozak scored a goal Saturday in a 5-2 loss to Utah.

Impact It was his first NHL goal. Kozak opened the scoring in the first period when he redirected a pass at the front of the net under Karel Vejmelka's left arm. He had a goal overturned in his NHL debut against the Jets on Thursday. Kozak, who was selected 193rd overall in the seventh round of the 2021 NHL Draft, is the first player selected in the sixth round or later of that draft to score an NHL goal.
