Avalanche acquire veteran D Brett Kulak from Pittsburgh for D Samuel Girard and a draft pick

The Penguins have traded defenseman Brett Kulak to the Colorado Avalanche in return for defenseman Samuel Girard and a second-round pick in the 2028 draft

3 DAYS AGO • Associated Press

Acquired by Colorado Kulak was obtained by the Avalanche from the Penguins on Tuesday in exchange for Samuel Girard and a 2028 second-round pick.

Impact Kulak will now play for his third different team this season after being dealt to the Penguins from the Oilers in December. Kulak is known more for his efforts in the defensive zone, but his offensive numbers could marginally improve playing on a high-flying Colorado squad. With his new club, Kulak will fill a bottom-four role, most likely on the third pairing next to Sam Malinski.

Deposits goal Monday Kulak scored a goal on two shots, added four PIM and went plus-3 in Monday's 6-3 win over the Kraken.

Impact Kulak snapped a seven-game point drought with the goal. The 32-year-old has seen regular top-four usage lately and is also receiving power-play time in the absence of Erik Karlsson (lower body). Kulak has one goal, four assists, 55 shots on net, 70 blocked shots, 28 PIM and a minus-5 rating over 48 appearances between the Penguins and the Oilers this season.

First point with new team Kulak notched an assist in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Hurricanes.

Impact This was Kulak's first point as a Penguin, to go with 12 blocked shots, two hits, two shots on goal, two PIM and a plus-1 rating. He's taken on top-four minutes, but his defensive playing style will keep him out of the mix in most fantasy formats. For the season, he has just three helpers with 50 blocks, six hits, 35 shots on net, 12 PIM and a minus-6 rating over 38 appearances between Pittsburgh and Edmonton.

Kulak has two assists, 33 shots on goal and 38 blocked shots in 31 appearances this season.

Unavailable Saturday Kulak (immigration) will not play Saturday and has been placed on non-roster injured reserve.

Penguins send two-time All-Star goalie Tristan Jarry to Edmonton in goaltender swap

The Pittsburgh Penguins have traded goaltender Tristan Jarry and forward Sam Poulin to Edmonton for goaltender Stuart Skinner, defenseman Brett Kulak and a 2029 second-round pick

DECEMBER 12, 2025 • Associated Press

Included in Jarry deal Kulak was flipped to the Penguins from the Oilers on Friday, along with Stuart Skinner and a 2029 second-round pick, in exchange for Tristan Jarry and Samuel Poulin.

Impact Kulak joins a crowded blue line that already includes veterans Connor Clifton and Matt Dumba, which makes it difficult to see where he fits into the lineup. In 31 games this year, the 31-year-old Kulak notched two helpers but has yet to find the back of the net while registering 33 shots. With general manager Kyle Dubas stockpiling defensemen, it's possible he's not done wheeling and dealing.

DECEMBER 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Cold on offense Kulak's point drought reached 22 games in Thursday's 9-4 win over the Kraken.

Impact Kulak was not one of the 11 Oilers to get on the scoresheet in this blowout win. During the slump, the defenseman has 29 shots on net, 26 blocked shots and a minus-16 rating. He's been a fixture on the third pairing, but Kulak's total lack of offense -- two assists in 28 outings -- makes him a no-go for most fantasy formats.
