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

EDGE Analysis

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.

Kulak notched an assist in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

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 (not injured related) was added to the active roster Monday.

EDGE Analysis

After being acquired by Pittsburgh from Edmonton on Friday, Kulak sat out two straight games as a non-roster player while he settled his immigration paperwork. Now that he has received clearance, he should be available to make his Pittsburgh debut against his former team when the Penguins host the Oilers on Tuesday. Kulak has two assists, 33 shots on goal and 38 blocked shots in 31 appearances this season.

Kulak (not injury related) won't be available for Saturday's game against San Jose after being given non-roster status.

EDGE Analysis

Kulak was dealt to Pittsburgh from Edmonton on Friday and needs to settle some immigration paperwork before being available to play. He had two assists in 31 games with the Oilers this season.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

Kulak registered two assists and tallied a blocked shot in Sunday's 4-2 loss to Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Kulak had a secondary helper on Noah Philp's goal before distributing the primary assist on Leon Draisaitl's tally. The 31-year-old defenseman now has two helpers and six blocks through six games this season. He is coming off a career-high 25 points in 82 regular-season in 2024-25. If he can continue to find Draisaitl and the rest of Edmonton's offensive threats, Kulak might be able to push for a career high in assists after distributing a personal-best 18 last year. For now, however, he is best kept off the fantasy radar.

Kulak logged an assist and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Stars in Game 4.

EDGE Analysis

Kulak is on a three-game point streak, earning a goal and two assists in that span. The defenseman is up to five points, 16 shots on net, 29 blocked shots, 13 hits and a plus-8 rating over 15 playoff appearances. Kulak continues to handle heavy defensive minutes, though he can chip in a little depth scoring as well.

Kulak notched an assist, three hits, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Stars in Game 3.

EDGE Analysis

Kulak has turned things around with a goal and an assist over the last two contests to follow a six-game slump. The 31-year-old blueliner had the secondary assist on Evan Bouchard's tally to open the scoring in this game. Kulak is now at four points, 15 shots on net, 13 hits, 26 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating over 14 playoff outings. He continues to be effective in a shutdown role in the Oilers' top four.

Kulak scored a goal in Friday's 3-0 win over the Stars in Game 2.

EDGE Analysis

Kulak got a second chance on a rush play and buried the goal to put the Oilers ahead 2-0 at 15:23 of the second period. This snapped a six-game point drought for the defenseman. He's seeing top-four minutes at this stage of the playoffs, though his role could be reduced if Mattias Ekholm (undisclosed) is able to return during the Western Conference Finals. Kulak has a three points, a plus-5 rating, 15 shots on net, 10 hits and 23 blocked shots over 13 playoffs appearances.
