Cozens to miss 2-3 months after thumb surgery

Buffalo, NY (WGR 550) - Dylan Cozens didn’t think his thumb injury suffered Saturday at development camp was all that serious, but things have changed.

Cozens has undergone a procedure on Wednesday on his left thumb and will be out for approximately 2-3 months.

Injury update: Sabres forward Dylan Cozens underwent successful surgery on his injured left thumb earlier this week. His expected recovery time is approximately two to three months.
