Kulikov (upper body) is unlikely to make the trip for Sunday's game against he Penguins, John Vogl of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Head coach Dan Bylsma did not offer an update on Kulikov's condition after leaving Saturday's home game against the Lightning, but Vogl noted the defenseman's gear was still in the dressing room while the rest is being packed for Sunday's game in Pittsburgh. Putting two and two together, it appears Kulikov will miss the game against the Penguins. Justin Falk, a healthy scratch on Saturday, is likely to draw in for Sunday's contest.
