Kulikov left Saturday’s game after a collision with Lance Bouma. He had an MRI and the results were encouraging as he did not sustain any serious damage to his knee.

The Panthers have signed restricted free-agent Dmitri Kulikov to a three-year, $13 million deal.
Kulikov, 23, had a career-high eight goals (19 points) but a career-worst minus-26 rating in 81 games with the Panthers in 2013-14. Kulikov did have solid possession numbers (51.2 CF%) for the second straight year and he'll be just 24-years-old in October so he should continue to improve his NHL game this season.
