Kulikov (knee) underwent an MRI on Sunday and early indications suggest that the injury he suffered Saturday is not overly serious, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports. Kulikov departed Saturday's game in the second period after colliding with Flames' forward Lance Bouma. With the team off Sunday, official word on Kulikov's condition likely will not come until Monday, but as of now it appears the defenseman has avoided a serious injury. That's good news for Florida, as Kulikov has four assists in 12 games this season and is averaging more than 20 minutes off ice time per game.
