EDGE Analysis

Kulikov ended his 11-game point drought with a helper on Kevin Fiala's second-period tally. The 31-year-old Kulikov reached the 20-point mark for the first time since 2014-15 with this assist. He's added 51 shots on net, 76 hits, 75 blocked shots and a plus-13 rating. With the addition of Jacob Middleton from the Sharks at the trade deadline, Kulikov and Alex Goligoski appear to be in competition for a place in the lineup down the stretch, though the former has the advantage so far.
