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.

Kulak notched an assist in Wednesday's 6-2 loss to the Kings in Game 2.
EDGE Analysis
Kulak has three helpers over his last seven games. The 31-year-old defenseman put up a career-high 25 points in 82 regular-season appearances in 2024-25. While he's often listed on the third pairing, his shutdown role sees him earn top-four minutes regularly. Despite the significant usage, Kulak isn't expected to be a big scoring threat in the playoffs.

Kulak notched an assist, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Kulak set up Viktor Arvidsson's empty-net goal to seal the win. The 31-year-old Kulak has two helpers over his last three games as he works to shake off a 10-game point drought from March 18 to April 7. The defenseman has reached the 25-point mark for the first time in his career and has added 132 shots on net, 109 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating over 80 appearances. Given the Oilers' significant number of injuries on the blue line, Kulak is poised to play in all 82 games for the third year in a row.

Kulak logged an assist and five shots on goal in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Kulak played a massive role with the Oilers only able to dress five defenseman due to the injuries to Jake Walman (undisclosed) and Mattas Ekholm (undisclosed). The extra playing time helped Kulak end a 10-game point drought. In that span, he had 20 shots on net, eight blocked shots and a minus-6 rating. Despite the recent struggles, the 31-year-old blueliner has still enjoyed a career year. He's at seven goals, 17 helpers, 128 shots on net, 107 blocked shots and a minus-10 rating over 78 appearances, playing more of a shutdown role in the bottom four on most occasions.

Kulak notched an assist and two blocked shots in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Kulak has two helpers over his last three contests. The 31-year-old had the secondary assist on Connor McDavid's tally in the third period. Kulak continues to impress in a depth role on the blue line, earning a career-high 23 points with 103 shots on net, 98 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 67 appearances. While he's been a good stabilizing presence for the Oilers, his lack of big numbers in non-scoring areas limits his fantasy appeal to deep formats.

Kulak (illness) is slated to play versus the Ducks on Tuesday, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.
EDGE Analysis
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. With Kulak healthy, Cam Dineen and Troy Stecher are set to serve as healthy scratches.

Kulak is dealing with an illness and did not skate Monday, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.
EDGE Analysis
Edmonton recalled Cam Dineen from AHL Bakersfield on an emergency basis Monday, so Kulak's availability for Tuesday's game against the Ducks is in question. Kulak has yet to miss a game this season. If the left-shot blueliner can't suit up Tuesday, Troy Stecher or Dineen will fill his spot in the lineup.

Kulak scored a goal on five shots and blocked eight shots in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Kulak now has a career-high seven goals this season after tying Thursday's game at 1-1 in the first period. He's also two points away from a new career high after reaching the 20-point mark for the third time in four years. On top of his slight gains on offense, the eight blocks Thursday represented a season high. The 31-year-old defenseman has 91 blocks, 94 shots on net and a plus-1 rating through 59 appearances as he works toward a career year nearly across the board.
