Nets first NHL goal Kulich scored a goal on five shots in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Blue Jackets.

Impact Kulich has been scratched twice over the first six games of the season, but he's making a case to be a regular. He was in the lineup over Jack Quinn in Thursday's game as head coach Lindy Ruff looks for ways to spark his struggling second line. Kulich is up to nine shots on net, four hits and three blocked shots through four appearances and should be a candidate for middle-six minutes and power-play time.

Remaining with Buffalo Kulich will remain on the Sabres' roster after Nicolas Aube-Kubel was placed on injured reserve Monday, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.

Impact Kulich didn't appear in the Sabres' regular-season opener against the Devils on Friday but logged 14:00 of ice time during Saturday's defeat. While he'll likely spend time in the AHL this year, he'll have more time to make an early-season impact with Buffalo since Aube-Kubel will be forced to miss at least a week.
