Dmitry Kulikov was a healthy scratch Tuesday. "I think most of this is mental," said Kulikov. "The mistakes I have made weren't forced. I shouldn't have made them. What happened, happened, just work hard to get it out of me and not worry about it. I don't think I was playing bad enough to get thrown out of the lineup, but it's the coach's decision." He has been committing bad turnovers and has struggled to produce with just three points in 27 games.
