Nets goal in Game 2
Kulikov scored a goal on three shots, added five hits, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Friday's 5-4 double-overtime win over the Oilers in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
ANALYSIS
Kulikov snapped an eight-game point drought dating back to his goal in Game 5 of the second round versus the Maple Leafs. The 34-year-old Kulikov has been confined to a third-pairing role, though he's seen plenty of ice time with the first two games versus the Oilers going to overtime. The defenseman has two goals, three helpers, 19 shots on net, 73 hits, 17 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 19 playoff outings.

Kulikov returned to Florida last season to begin his second stint with the club. His offensive numbers -- one goal, 20 points in 76 regular-season games -- won't blow anyone away, but Kulikov appeared in all 24 playoff games for the club en route to winning the Stanley Cup. Valuing term over dollars, Kulikov, now 33 years of age, signed a new four-year, $4.6 million deal with the Panthers in free agency. The veteran rearguard should again return to a depth role for the club, although he doesn't possess fantasy value in any format.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Could fit with Penguins
Kulikov could be a good fit for the Penguins, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
ANALYSIS
Kulikov's solid defensive reputation would surely be an upgrade over the young and inexperienced options on the Penguins' blue line. Kulikov has 10 points through 52 outings this season, so he likely won't contribute much extra offense, though getting out of Anaheim could help him a bit in that regard.
