Kulikov produced an assist and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Kulikov helped out on Mats Zuccarello's first-period tally. The 30-year-old Kulikov is up to two helpers, 10 blocks, five hits and a plus-2 rating in six contests. He'll remain a mostly defensive player on the Wild's third pairing, although he's already halfway to the four assists he produced in 48 games between the Devils and the Oilers last year.
