GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - The Detroit Red Wings on Wednesday reassigned goaltender Sebastian Cossa to the Grand Rapids Griffins.
Cossa, the 15th overall pick by Detroit in 2021, made his NHL debut in a relief effort on Dec. 9 at the Buffalo Sabres and claimed a 6-5 shootout victory behind 12 saves and two stops in the shootout. He became the first netminder in NHL history to win his debut via a shootout in a relief effort.
With the Griffins, the 22-year-old has shown a 9-4-1 mark with one shutout through 14 games this season to go along with a 2.21 goals-against average and a .925 save percentage. Cossa ranks among the AHL leaders in minutes played (816:02, 4th), shutouts (T7th), GAA (6th), wins (T3rd), and save percentage (7th). Last campaign, Cossa set a Griffins franchise record with a 19-game point streak (13-0-6), and tied both the franchise record home and road point streaks of 13 home games (9-0-4) and 10 road contests (8-0-2). At the AHL level since 2022-23, Cossa has produced a 32-14-10 ledger with three shutouts, a 2.49 goals-against average and a .911 save percentage in 57 regular-season appearances. As a pro, the 6-foot-7 netminder has a 59-30-11 mark with seven shutouts and a 2.53 goals-against average in 104 outings.
Cossa became a Western Hockey League champion in 2021-22 with the Edmonton Oil Kings and was named to the First All-Star Team when he registered a 33-9-3 record with a 2.28 goals-against average and a .913 save percentage. Throughout his three-year career in the WHL, Cossa amassed a 71-16-7 record with a 2.12 goals-against average and a .921 save percentage in 98 games. Cossa suited up for Team Canada at the 2022 World Junior Championship and claimed a gold medal, contributing with a 1-0-0 record, a 2.00 goals-against average and a .917 save percentage.
