Kozun missed practice Friday with a lower-body injury, Corey Masisak of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kozun is on a PTO with the Avalanche and the injury can't help his chances of receiving a contract. Kozun played 20 games with the Maple Leafs in 2014-15, the only NHL action in his career. He spent the last eight years playing in Europe, seven in the KHL and one season in the Swiss League.

Kozun signed a professional tryout agreement with the Avalanche on Wednesday, Ryan Boulding of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kozun spent most of the last eight years in the KHL, playing for four clubs and amassing 106 goals, 151 assists and 327 PIM over 347 games. The Avalanche could benefit from acquiring forward depth at a bargain, and Kozun's scoring history overseas paints a brighter picture than the four points he amassed in 20 games with the Maple Leafs in 2014-15.

Kozun was recalled from AHL Toronto on Monday.Kozun has been in the AHL since December, and has 11 points through 23 games with the clubs this season. He has played in just six games with the Maple Leafs this season, tallying one assist while recording two penalty minutes and a minus-4 rating.

Kozun cleared waivers Thursday and was reassigned to AHL Toronto, James Mirtle of The Globe and Mail reports. Kozun had been a scratch in almost every game for the Maple Leafs since returning from an ankle injury earlier in December. He'll likely skate in a top-six role with the AHL club and provide a needed scoring punch.

Kozun was placed on waivers Wednesday, Darren Dreger of TSN reports. The Leafs were facing an imminent roster logjam with Roman Polak (ankle), Carter Ashton (suspension) and Leo Komarov (concussion) starting to close in on the end of their timetables, so Kozun's removal from the 23-man roster helps create some space. Kozun had been a healthy scratch in all but one of the Leafs' six games since being activated from injured reserve Dec. 6. He'll report to AHL Toronto if he goes unclaimed off waivers.
