Griffins Coach Sees Cossa in a ‘Groove’ Now (+)

GRAND RAPIDS — It didn’t take long for Sebastian Cossa to adjust to the American Hockey League.

After a slow start at the Detroit Red Wings’ prospects camp in Traverse City, Cossa has found his way in the AHL. He’s been a major factor in the Grand Rapids Griffins’ rise this season, including a seven-week stretch in which the Griffins went 18 games without a regulation loss.

He’s currently riding a 12-game points streak (7-0-5) and hasn’t had a regulation loss since Jan. 12. A GAA of 2.60 and a save percentage of .910 speak to a consistency that has impressed the Red Wings, including GM Steve Yzerman. “He’s getting much stronger as the season has gone on.”
