Dylan Cozens scored two goals and one assist in the Senators' 6-5 overtime loss to the Kings on Thursday, October 29. He managed just two shots and four hits in 17:30 of ice time, with one of his goals coming on the power play. Ottawa finished on the wrong end of a back-and-forth game despite the center's three-point effort.

The points came without more shots or minutes than usual, so managers should treat it as one game rather than a sign of anything new. Cozens averages 0.65 points per game on 2.3 shots, 17:02 of ice time and ranks first among all Ottawa skaters in power-play time at 3:05 a night. His underlying play grades 98 out of 100 among forwards in shots, scoring chances and ice time, a read on how sustainable his scoring is.

Dylan Cozens

Cozens produced two goals and one assist on just two shots in 17:30 Thursday, delivering three points without the shot volume or minutes that typically drive consistent production. He averages 2.3 shots per game and 17:02 a night, so the 17:30 represented a normal workload while the two shots fell below his usual pace. One of his goals came on the power play, where he leads Ottawa skaters with 3:05 per game on the first unit.

His underlying play grades 98 out of 100 among forwards in shots, scoring chances and ice time, a strong indicator of scoring sustainability even when the puck isn't going in. Cozens averages 0.27 goals and 0.38 assists per game for 0.65 points, along with 0.26 power-play points, 2.1 hits and 0.4 blocks. Ottawa has three games remaining this week on Saturday, Sunday and Wednesday, giving him three more chances to produce before the week ends.

What to do

• Keep Cozens rostered in all formats, as his elite underlying metrics and first-unit power-play role support his recent averages.

• Start him for Ottawa's three remaining games this week on Saturday, Sunday and Wednesday.

• Treat Thursday's three-point night as one game's work rather than a shift in his scoring pace, given the modest shot total.
