Santos threw a shot at defenseman Dmitry Kulikov on Wednesday, saying "I wouldn't say Kulikov is guaranteed a spot. He's eligible for the AHL too.''
For those of you expecting an uptick in production from Kulikov: be careful. The young Russian will need to earn his spot and compete for playing time with veterans like Brian Campbell and Ed Jovanovski.
Berube, 19, also was a fourth-round pick in the 2009 draft. This season, with the Montreal Juniors of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, Berube played 50 games and went 32-7-8 with a 2.60 goals-against average (which ranked fourth in the league), a .902 save percentage and three shutouts. Berube also played three games for the AHL’s Manchester Monarchs this season.
