      Dmitry Kulikov has been suspended for two-games for an illegal check to the head of Conor Sheary.

      Kulikov's major penalty on Tampa Bay's Conor Sheary was the subject to much debate over the weekend but has led to a two-game suspension for the blueliner. The 33-year-old will miss Florida's next two games against Nashville and the New York Rangers. Through 64 games before his suspension, the veteran had failed to score but has 16 assists, 61 SOG, 59 PIMs and +9 plus/minus.

      Dmitry Kulikov will draw back into the Panthers' lineup Monday vs. Ottawa.

      Kulikov has six points (0G / 6A) in 19 games and was a healthy scratch in the last two games for the Panthers but will return to the lineup on Monday in favour of Uvis Balinskis. Kulikov and Balinskis will likely continue to rotate in and out of the lineup now that Aaron Ekblad and Brandon Montour have returned from injuries.

      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.
