Kulikov (back) is inactive for Saturday's home matchup with the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

Kulikov has been battling a back ailment since the preseason and it appears it could require some time to heal as he'll miss his fifth consecutive game as a result of it. His absence should have little effect on fantasy owners as the 26-year-old blueliner has yet to tally a point on the 2016-17 season.
