Kulak logged an assist and three shots on goal in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Kulak has three helpers over three games to begin February. The 31-year-old defenseman helped out on Viktor Arvidsson's opening tally in the second period. Kulak has mostly stayed in a depth role on the Oilers' blue line, but he's at 19 points through 54 appearances, putting him on pace for a career year. He's added 88 shots on net, 81 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating. Kulak is likely to take on heavier defensive matchups, freeing up John Klingberg to see more usage when the Oilers have the puck.

Kulak had two assists in a 4-3 loss to Toronto on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Kulak is having a career year. His 18 points are within two of his career high of 20, and he's already equaled his best performance of six. Kulak doesn't help you on the power play, but this year, he's on pace for 28-30 points. That makes him a marginal play in deep formats.

Kulak scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Kulak scored for the first time since Nov. 30, a game which was also in Denver. Over the 20 contests between goals, the defenseman racked up six assists, four of which have been in his last seven outings. For the season, he's matched his career high with six goals while adding 10 assists, 73 shots on net, 69 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating over 45 appearances.

Kulak notched an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Kulak snapped a three-game point drought with the helper. The 31-year-old defenseman has played at a career-best pace with 15 points through 44 outings overall while often playing top-four minutes despite being listed on the third pairing most of the time. Kulak has added 68 blocked shots, 71 shots on net and a plus-5 rating as a steady stay-at-home defender.

Kulak picked up two assists Tuesday in a 4-0 win over Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Kulak has three assists in his last two games, and that gives him 14 points (five goals, nine helpers), 63 blocks and 63 shots in 40 games. Kulak is on a career pace in all three of those categories, so those points will help if you're deploying him for his blocking.

Kulak managed an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

Kulak continues to play a larger role than his third-pairing assignment would suggest. It doesn't necessarily lead to more offense, though he has three helpers over his last 12 outings. The 30-year-old defenseman is up to 12 points, 62 shots on net, 60 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 39 appearances. He's on pace for a career year, but offense can be fickle for stay-at-home blueliners like Kulak.

Kulak posted an assist and two shots on goal in Monday's 6-5 loss to the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Kulak continues to chip in a little depth scoring from the blue line with four points and a plus-8 rating over his last 12 contests. He's still seeing second-pairing minutes, though more as a defensive presence. The 30-year-old blueliner is up to 11 points, 52 shots on net, 41 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating through 31 outings. He's on pace to surpass his career high of 21 points from 2021-22, a season he split between the Oilers and Canadiens.

Kulak had an assist in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

Kulak picked up his first point over four games in December when he assisted on a Connor McDavid goal. The 30-year-old Kulak remains listed on the third pairing, but he has functioned as a top-four option for the Oilers this season. The shutdown blueliner has 10 points, 46 shots on net, 38 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 28 appearances.

Kulak scored a goal in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Kulak posted six points over 13 contests in November. That constitutes a pretty good month for a defenseman who isn't known for his scoring. This season, he has five goals -- one shy of his career high -- and nine points through 24 outings, and he's added 39 shots on net, 29 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating. Kulak's on pace to challenge for his first 30-point campaign, but he's also shooting 12.8 percent, which is more than twice as efficient as his next best season, so the bottom could fall out at any time.

Kulak notched an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Kulak picked up his fourth point in the last four games when he set up Darnell Nurse's second-period tally. While Kulak was listed on the third pairing Thursday, he saw 21:54 of ice time as one of the Oilers' top-four blueliners by usage with the team dressing seven defensemen. Kulak is up to seven points, 23 shots on net, 22 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 17 contests this season. Despite his recent success, the 30-year-old has limited scoring upside, and thus only makes sense for fantasy managers in deeper formats.
