Expected back Tuesday Kulak (illness) is slated to play versus the Ducks on Tuesday, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.

Impact Kulak was absent from Monday's practice but appears to have recovered from his illness ahead of Tuesday's tilt. The defenseman has already set new career highs in goals (seven), points (21) and average ice time (20:06) with games still remaining.
