In concussion protocol Kulich has entered concussion protocol Sunday after leaving Saturday's game against Vegas, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550.

Impact Coach Lindy Ruff said Kulich is feeling "worse" Sunday after taking a hard hit from Brett Howden in Saturday's contest, so the center will now be sidelined until he can clear protocol, likely ruling him out for Monday's game in Boston. The 20-year-old Kulich has 12 goals and 19 points through 49 games this season.

Will not play Monday Kulich (illness) will miss Monday's tilt versus Edmonton, Lance Lykowski of The Buffalo News reports.

Impact Kulich was unable to play Saturday in Florida with the illness. The talented 20-year-old has 12 goals and seven assists over 47 games this season. Jordan Greenway (illness) could reenter the lineup if healthy, otherwise Josh Dunne will make his second straight appearance for the Sabres.

Not playing Saturday Kulich (illness) will miss Saturday's game in Florida, according to Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News.

Impact Kulich is having a nice rookie season with 12 goals and 19 points in 47 outings. He has yet to pick up a point on the man advantage despite averaging 1:31 of ice time on the power play. Kulich could return as early as Monday versus Edmonton. Look for Josh Dunne to enter the lineup in place of Kulich.

Scores in Saturday's loss Kulich scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Canadiens.

Impact Kulich was limited to one assist over six games in February despite seeing some top-line minutes in that time. He was shuffled down to the third line Saturday, and while he got back on the scoresheet, his rest-of-season potential is fairly limited lower in the lineup. Kulich has established himself well as a rookie with 12 goals, six assists, 96 shots on net and a plus-1 rating through 44 appearances this season, but the 20-year-old is still not a candidate to be rostered in all fantasy formats.

Scores two goals Friday Kulich recorded two goals, two shots and four PIM in Friday's 4-3 win over the Predators.

Impact Kulich is going through a very productive stretch both as a scorer and playmaker, and the 20-year-old continues to show he has a bright future in the NHL every time he steps on the ice. This two-goal effort extended his point streak to three games, and he's notched seven points (four goals, three assists) over his last five appearances. The 20-year-old Czech native has 11 goals and 16 total points in 37 regular-season contests so far.

Scores once but can't strike twice Kulich scored a goal on seven shots in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Oilers.

Impact Kulich gave the Sabres a 2-1 lead in the second period, but that was the last goal that counted for his team. He was involved in a net-front scramble in the third, but he kicked the puck into the net on a play that didn't hold up under video review. Kulich has four points over his last four outings and appears to be doing fairly well in a top-line role at even strength. He's now at nine goals, four assists, 81 shots on net, 26 hits and a minus-1 rating through 35 contests overall.

Racks up three points in win Kulich scored a goal on three shots, dished two assists and added two hits in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Canucks.

Impact Kulich has played on the top line in back-to-back contests since returning from a lower-body injury. It didn't lead to any offense for him Monday in Seattle, but he clicked with Tage Thompson and JJ Peterka in Tuesday's contest. This was Kulich's second three-point game in his career, and it ended a five-game slump. He's at eight goals, four helpers, 73 shots on net, 26 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 33 appearances. Kulich is worth considering in fantasy as long as he's in a prominent spot in the lineup, but he's far from an established scorer in his rookie year.

Doubtful Friday Kulich (lower body) is doubtful for Friday's game against Pittsburgh, according to Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald.

The center will miss his fourth straight game after suffering the injury against Washington on Jan. 6. Kulich has seven goals and nine points with 64 shots on goal in 31 games this season.

Closing in on return Kulich (lower body), who won't play Wednesday against the Hurricanes, could return as early as Friday against the Penguins, Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald reports.

Impact Kulich sustained a lower-body injury against the Capitals on Jan. 6, and he's been on injured reserve over the past week. While he'll be forced to miss at least one more game, he's trending in the right direction and hasn't yet been ruled out for Friday. Regardless of whether he plays against Pittsburgh, head coach Lindy Ruff said that Kulich will definitely travel with the Sabres on their upcoming four-game road trip, which begins Monday in Seattle.

Impact Kulich recorded one shot, one hit and two PIM in 5:18 of ice time before exiting. Head coach Lindy ruff said that the 20-year-old will be evaluated Tuesday. If Beck Malenstyn (illness) isn't ready for Thursday's road tilt in Ottawa, the Sabres would need to either call up a forward from AHL Rochester or be forced to roll with 11 forwards and seven defenseman. Kulich has produced seven goals and nine points through 31 appearances this season.
