Dmitry Kulikov is a game-time decision for the Florida Panthers as they begin a three-game road trip against the New York Islanders on Monday, according to NHL.com.
Kulikov, who has been out of the lineup with an injury, was activated off injured reserve on Monday, the team announced. This move coincides with the placement of defenseman John Schwindt on injured reserve, as reported by the Miami Herald.
The Panthers’ head coach has not yet confirmed Kulikov’s availability for tonight’s game, stating that the team will evaluate him during warmups before making a final decision. Kulikov’s potential return provides a boost to the Panthers’ defensive lineup.
The game against the Islanders is set to begin at 7:30 p.m. ET. Fans can watch the game on Bally Sports Florida, stream it on ESPN+, or listen on WQAM 560 AM, according to Florida Hockey Now. Live game updates, stats, and play-by-play coverage will be available on Yahoo Sports.
