Florida will be without Dmitry Kulikov for 6-8 weeks after the defenseman had knee surgery Monday. Kulikov was injured Saturday against Winnipeg, though he continued to play. The third-year player is Florida's second-leading scorer among defenseman with 24 points (4 goals) in 46 games. Tyson Strachan, who was recalled Monday from San Antonio (AHL), could be paired with Mike Weaver tonight at home against the Flyers.
