Media Avail: Kulikov - 4/23/25 | Florida Panthers Dmitry Kulikov speaks ahead of Game 2 against Tampa Bay.

APRIL 23, 2025 • NHL.COM

Provides helper Tuesday Kulikov notched an assist and five hits in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Lightning in Game 1.

Impact This was Kulikov's third game back after he missed 12 contests due to an upper-body injury. The 34-year-old defenseman is once again in a top-four role, though he could see a slight drop in minutes once Aaron Ekblad (suspension) comes back for Saturday's Game 3. Kulikov is a reliable shutdown defender, and he earned 13 points, 114 hits, 71 blocked shots and a plus-12 rating over 70 regular-season appearances.

Returning to action Monday Kulikov (upper body) will return to the ice for Monday's game against the Rangers, George Richards of Florida Hockey Now reports.

Impact Kulikov missed the last 12 games due to an upper-body injury, but he'll be back in action for the Panthers' penultimate game of the regular season. Over 68 appearances this year, he's recorded four goals, nine assists, 110 hits, 70 blocked shots and 38 PIM while averaging 19:17 of ice time.

Remains out of action Kulikov (upper body) will be unavailable versus Buffalo on Saturday, according to Colby Guy of The Palm Beach Post.

Impact Kulikov practiced Saturday and is likely to return Monday versus the Rangers. He will miss his 12th straight game Saturday. Kulikov has four goals, nine assists, 110 hits and 70 blocked shots in 68 outings this season.

APRIL 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Might miss two more games Kulikov (upper body) is slated to return to the lineup later this week, according to Colby Guy of The Palm Beach Post on Tuesday.

Impact Head coach Paul Maurice said Saturday that Kulikov could return April 12 versus Buffalo, which seemingly lines up with Tuesday's report. The 34-year-old defenseman has been out of action since March 16 as a result of his upper-body injury. Kulikov has contributed four goals and 13 points across 68 appearances in 2024-25.

Could return in a week Per Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site, Kulikov (upper body) could return versus Buffalo on April 12, according to coach Paul Maurice.

Impact Kulikov has already missed seven games and is expected to miss four more games, but he should be completely healthy in time for the start of the playoffs. He has four goals, nine assists, 110 hits and 70 blocked shots over 68 contests this season.

Won't play during road trip Kulikov (upper body) will travel with the Panthers during their upcoming four-game road trip but won't play in any of those matchups, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site r...

Impact The Panthers had previously reported that Kulikov could return to the lineup during the final week of the regular season, and while he won't suit up during the team's upcoming road trip, it's at least encouraging that he's been cleared to travel. Following the road trip, Kulikov will have five more chances to return during the regular season, and any game action would allow him to regain his conditioning ahead of the NHL playoffs.

MARCH 31, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Hoping to return during regular season Kulikov (upper body) could return to the lineup during the final week of the NHL regular season, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports Thursday.

Impact Kulikov has already missed three games due to his upper-body injury and now seems poised to be out until the closing contests of the regular season. Considering the 34-year-old defenseman has managed just 13 points in 68 games, fantasy players probably shouldn't be banking on him suddenly providing offensive upside once given the all-clear.

Impact Kulikov's absence will stretch a blue line that is already without Aaron Ekblad (suspension). Tobias Bjornfot was called up from the minors and should get plenty of minutes until Kulikov is cleared to return. For his part, the 34-year-old Kulikov has managed four goals, nine assists and 62 shots while dishing out 110 hits in 68 games this year.

MARCH 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Injured on Long Island Kulikov sustained an upper-body injury Sunday against the Islanders and will not return.

Impact Kulikov immediately departed the game after suffering his injury on a play in which he received a minor penalty for holding against New York's Anthony Duclair. Kulikov will presumably be fully evaluated when the team returns to Florida after Sunday's game. The Panthers are already without Aaron Ekblad (suspension) on the blue line, and if Kulikov has to miss any time, the team will have to summon a defenseman from AHL Charlotte -- Tobias Bjornfot, who has made eight appearances with Florida this season, would probably be first in line for a promotion.

MARCH 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Finds twine Tuesday Kulikov scored a goal, added two PIM, logged three hits and blocked four shots in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Bruins.

Impact Kulikov has a point in each of the last two contests since he put an end to his 11-game point drought. The 34-year-old blueliner has a chance to see his importance in shutdown situations rise, as Aaron Ekblad (suspension) is out until the third game of the postseason. Kulikov is up to 13 points, 62 shots on net, 107 hits, 68 blocked shots and a plus-13 rating over 65 appearances, so he won't be a replacement for the offense lost from Ekblad's absence.
