Dmitry Kulikov has been placed on the long-term injured reserve retroactively to March 12th (lower body).

The Penguins have acquired Dmitry Kulikov from the Ducks for Brock McGinn and a 3rd Round Pick.

Kulikov's numbers took an expected dip in Anaheim this season, as he's been relied on to eat heavy minutes on one of the worst teams in the NHL. He registered three goals and 12 assists and was a minus 15 in 61 games for the Ducks this season. Kulikov will welcome the change of scenery, and he's been a useful defenseman for more competitive teams in the past. He picked up 24 points and was a plus 23 for the Wild last season.
