Kozlov recovering from Achilles injury

ATLANTA - Slava Kozlov says he&#39;s still not completely comfortable on the ice after an Achilles tendon injury earlier this year, but his skill level certainly doesn&#39;t appear to have been effected. <br> <br> The 30-year-old Russian had two goals and an assist Saturday night in a 4-4 tie with Nashville at Bossier City, Louisiana. <br> <br> Kozlov, acquired in a trade with Buffalo, didn&#39;t play after December 29th last season because of his injury. <br> <br> He sustained a deep cut, which required about 60 stitches to close, across his lower left leg when he was inadvertently slashed by the skate of Columbus center Tyler Wright. <br> <br> A six-time 20-goal-scorer, Kozlov was being counted upon to bolster the Buffalo Sabres offense when he was acquired last July in a trade that sent goaltender Dominik Hasek to Detroit.
