Kulikov (back) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game, as coach Dan Blysma told The Buffalo News, "I'd like to say there was an update on him. We've been on day-to-day but it's more like a week-to-week time frame right now."

EDGE Analysis

Kulikov was not listed on IR as of Wednesday afternoon, but it seems like he's heading in that direction based on the most recent comments from the bench boss. Either way, Taylor Fedun figures to continue rounding out the third defensive pair alongside Justin Falk with Kulikov ailing.
