Selected 15th overall by Detroit in the 2021 NHL entry draft, the 6-foot-6, 215-pound Cossa, 19, is leading the WHL playoffs with 12 wins and shares the league lead with three shutouts.

Cossa and the Edmonton Oil Kings will begin the 2022 WHL Championship on home ice facing either the Kamloops Blazers or the Seattle Thunderbirds. Game 1 is scheduled for Friday, June 3.

Already signed to an entry-level contract with the Red Wings, it’s expected that Cossa will be starting next season with the AHL Grand Rapids Griffins.
