The Florida Panthers have placed veteran defenseman Dmitry Kulikov on injured reserve. Kulikov, 34, suffered an injury during the team’s second game of the season against the Philadelphia Flyers. The collision with Flyers forward Bobby Brink left Kulikov holding his right wrist, and he may now require surgery. This news comes as the Panthers are already without key players like captain Aleksander Barkov and forward Matthew Tkachuk due to injuries. Kulikov’s absence is a significant blow to the team’s defense, especially after his solid performance last season with 70 games played and 13 points. Stay tuned for updates on Kulikov’s recovery and the Panthers’ lineup adjustments.
