Kulikov (back) is doubtful for Tuesday's game and unavailable Monday, Mike Harrington of the Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

The defenseman has missed the last 11 games with a back injury and seems on the cusp of returning. However, even once he's back to full health, he won't be much of a fantasy value considering he's pointless in 12 games this season. He will likely return to one of the top defensive pairings, causing ripple effects throughout the current starting pairs.
