Dmitry Kulikov has been skating for about six weeks, but he still needs to be cleared for action. He could get the green light as soon as today with training camp set to begin Thursday. "I honestly can't wait. This has been a long summer and I have worked myself into great shape," said Kulikov, who had shoulder surgery after missing the last three games of the 2013 season. "I'm excited for training camp to start, for the games to start. I'm seeing the doctor [Wednesday] and we'll see. I feel good but we'll see where I'm at."
