Displaying an assortment of tantalizing tools, Cozens plays a highly effective 200-foot game. He’s dominant on the puck and shows a highly cerebral sense on how to create space. He uses his quickness, size and skill to get to where he wants to go. He has quick acceleration, good agility and great speed. When he plays hungry on the puck he uses his skating to create gaps. There’s even more power in his straight-away stride and he’s effective slowing down play and winding his way to open ice. He’s big, rangy and will be an even bigger force when he fills into his frame. His vision is top notch and he distributes the puck well in the offensive zone, but his passes could use more precision and power. His has a deadly shot with a quick release and can be a dual threat. He can pick corners and has good velocity on his wrister, although he has some work to do on his slap shot. He uses his body well to defend and grinds along the wall. He reads the play well defensively, has great positioning and an active stick, but lacks a bit intensity. He’s solid at hunting down opponents and using his size and stick to battle for pucks. He shows emotion after the whistle and gets into engagements in defense of his team. His enthusiasm and energy is contagious.
