Four Games for Kulikov

Well, it was somewhat expected that the suspension would have been more than four games for Dimitri Kulikov, as he was offered the opportunity for an in-person hearing.  Nevertheless, Kulikov will miss most of the games this week, as he has already missed one game out of this suspension, Sunday night, so he will be eligible to return on Sunday, away to Pittsburgh.





This season, Kulikov has been only okay for Ryan on his pool team, picking up 9 points in 28 games, since the Week Nine Waiver Draft. He hasn't nearly been scoring at a good clip for most defensemen, but that's likely the reason why he was left to the Waiver Draft in the first place.

Ryan continues to tread water above the 23rd position, but it has been tough, as the other two teams he deals with have their good weeks to his bad and he has just had a good week, so he might be due for a bad one here shortly.  The loss of Kulikov won't help his cause any, that's for sure.
