BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — Wednesday, Dylan Cozens returned to practice for the first time since his heated fight in Friday's game against Garnet Hathaway. The Sabres had no energy and the center says he let his emotions get the best of him.
"It escalated a lot quicker then I prepared myself for," said Cozens. " I think I need to know who I'm going up against and be a little smarter next time, for sure."

Cozens is hopeful to play this weekend. His first day back he remained in a non-contact jersey and a face shield.
"Hopefully, that's the plan to play this weekend," said Cozens.
On another positive note for the Sabres, rookie defenseman Ryan Johnson is already making an impact and gaining the trust of his coaches and teammates. Johnson made his debut in the NHL Saturday against Toronto.
"He was awesome," said head coach Don Granato."
