It's unclear how serious whatever his issue might be at the time, but Dmitry Kulikov needed help off the ice on Sunday. He got tangled up with Boston Bruins forward Jaromir Jagr late in the game. He fought through a lower-body injury recently, but it looks like it might have been arm-related this time around.

Dmitry Kulikov has a lower-body issue, but he's expected to play Tuesday night. He was able to take part in Monday's practice. Kulikov has been disappointing this campaign, with just nine points and a minus-3 rating in 30 games, when it was thought that he could take positive steps forward offensively.

Dmitry Kulikov has potted two game-winning goals in Florida's past four games. Coach Kevin Dineen commented that the 22-year-old defenseman appears to be playing with more enthusiasm. "Obviously it feels good to win, but I don't think my game has changed at all," Kulikov said. "But when you are able to score some goals, you get a chance to look like a happy guy out there. I'm just trying to play the best I can, help us win some games." The markers were his first two of the season.

Dmitry Kulikov netted the game-winning goal in a 2-1 victory Sunday. Marcel Goc also scored for the Florida Panthers. Tomas Fleischmann, Tomas Kopecky, Jonathan Huberdeau, and Brian Campbell each registered an assist in the victory.

Dmitry Kulikov was activated from the IL on Saturday March 23.

Dmitry Kulikov (shoulder) could return to the Panthers lineup Saturday against the Devils. Kulikov has been out the past 10 games because of a dislocated shoulder. The 22-year-od defenseman has seven assists in 20 games this year.

Dmitry Kulikov, who apparently has a core injury, is slated to return to Florida's lineup sometime during their current road trip. However, he isn't expected to play Thursday. The Panthers play New Jersey (Saturday), the Islanders (Sunday) and Toronto (Tuesday) to round out their five-game road swing. Kulijov hasn't played since Mar. 2 with what was originally reported as a hand injury.

Dmitry Kulikov was back with the team on Wednesday, as he continues to recover from a hand injury. He isn't projected to play Thursday at Boston or in Saturday's home game against the New York Islanders. Kulikov has been out of action since Mar. 2 and the initial timetable for his return was set at three-to-four weeks.

Dmitry Kulikov (hand) is slated to miss three-to-four weeks. He was injured last Saturday when he fell hard into the boards at Carolina. Kulikov has no goals and seven assists in 20 games this season, while averaging 21:44 of ice time per contest. He has also chipped in 49 hits and 30 blocked shots.

Dmitry Kulikov left Saturday's contest with a wrist/hand injury and did not return. Kulikov lost his footing and went down hard onto the ice and into the boards. Nolan Yonkman may take Kulikov's spot on Sunday at home against the Hurricanes. The Russian blueliner had four goals and 28 points in 58 games last season but was struggling in this shortened season before the injury.
