After a week of hopefulness after the NHL draft following a near decade of futility, the Buffalo Sabres still can’t catch a break. The 2019 seventh overall draft pick Dylan Cozens went down a routine hip check by Brandon Hickey during the French Connection 3-on-3 tournament.
Cozens fell awkwardly onto the ice with most of his weight going towards his left hand grasping his stick. He was able to come up, take his glove off and skate to the bench with video showing what appeared to be a deformity in his hand.
