SPRINGFIELD, Mass. … The American Hockey League announced today that Grand Rapids Griffins goaltender Sebastian Cossa has been selected as the Howies Hockey Tape/AHL Player of the Week for the period ending November 30, 2025.
Cossa allowed just four goals on 73 shots (1.33, .945) to post three consecutive wins for the league-leading Griffins last week.
Cossa backstopped Grand Rapids to a sweep of their two-game visit to Texas, making 19 saves in a 10-1 victory on Tuesday and coming back with 24 stops in a 6-3 win on Wednesday. Then on Sunday evening, Cossa earned his second shutout of the season by turning aside all 26 shots he faced in the Griffins’ 1-0 win over visiting Iowa.
