He makes for an interesting spot-start.

Kulikov missed the last eight games with a lower-body injury, but he is expected to back in the lineup tonight in Columbus. Kulikov has just three assists in 17 games this season.

Gudas will miss this week’s Friday-Saturday back-to-back and then next Tuesday’s game vs. the Islanders. He is eligible to play next Thursday in St. Louis. Expect Nick Schultz (upper-body) to play tomorrow if he is healthy.
