Kulemin was hurt in against the Oilers last Tuesday and will miss the rest of the 2017-18 season after undergoing surgery. Josh Ho-Sang was recalled after Kulemin was moved to IR and this injury could allow the rookie to remain with the team.
Kulemin suffered an injury vs. Edmonton on Tuesday and it looks like he is going to be sidelined for an extended period of time. The Islanders announced that he is out indefinitely and without a definitive timetable.
Kulemin left Tuesday’s loss vs. Edmonton with an upper-body injury after playing 8:03 TOI and didn’t return. This afternoon the Isles moved him to IR and Alan Quine, who has recalled this morning will likely take his spot in the lineup on Friday.
Kulemin was held out of the lineup for the last two games, but will draw back in tonight vs. the Coyotes. The fourth-line winger has recorded just one assist in six games this season and should not be considered as a fantasy option.
Kulemin has just one assist in six games this season and will be replaced by Ryan Pulock as the Islanders go with seven defenseman in New York tonight.
The Islanders first line left-wing spot has been a revolving door to start the season. Cory Conacher and Brock Nelson have occupied that spot previously, now Kulemin will get a twirl there. He has one goal and five assists in 11 games this season.
A day after skating on the Islanders top-line, Kulemin was back on the second line this morning; with Cory Conacher moving back to the first line with John Tavares. Kulemin will start the game on the second line, but will move up in Conacher struggles.
Kulemin is skated on the Isles top-line with John Tavares and Kyle Okposo at practice this morning. Cory Conacher had been playing there for the first seven games of the season, but it looks like Kulemin will take a turn there on Saturday. He has three assists in the first seven games, but definitely receives a fantasy boost and is worth a speculative add in standard leagues.
Kulemin tallied nine goals and added 11 assists (20 points) in 70 games with the Maple Leafs. He spent the first six years of his career with Toronto, and 2013-14 was his worst year. The former 30 goal scorer has tallied just 23 goals over the last three seasons (188 games played). He could play with John Tavares, which would boost his fantasy value or he may be re-united with Mikhail Grabovski.
Kulemin was expected to suit up up tonight and being removed from IR confirms that report. Kulemin was injured in the second game of the season and has missed the Leafs last 12 contests. He had two assists in the first two contests and bolsters and already strong lineup even further.
Kulemin has missed the Leafs last eight games, but is expected to return at the end of the month or in early November. The Maple Leafs lineup is getting stronger with the return of David Clarkson (suspension) and Kulemin's impending return.
Kulemin has missed Toronto's last seven games because of an ankle injury. He only appeared in two games but should return in late October or early November. The Maple Leafs have been successful despite Kulemin's absence as a number of young players have stepped up.
Kulemin should not be on your fantasy radar.
The injuries continue to mount for the Maple Leafs. The means Spencer Abbott will draw into the lineup and is expected to play with Nazem Kadri and Joffrey Lupul.
There has been no word whether Kulemin's absense is injury or personal related. For now he is being replaced by Spencer Abbott. Expect an update following the morning skate.
Kulemin has some fantasy value even on Toronto's third line, but the 10-game suspension to Clarkson boosts his value for the first few weeks.
Drop him in all single-season formats. Kulemin scored seven goals and 28 points in 70 games.
Good start by getting back on the ice. Kulemin scored seven goals and 28 points in 70 games.
