The Florida Panthers will be without defenseman Dmitry Kulikov for the remainder of the third period against the Calgary Flames today.
Kulikov left the game in the second period with an apparent knee injury and will not return, according to George Richards of the Miami Herald. The 24-year-old Kulikov was credited with a pair of assists, as the Panthers jumped out to a 4-3 lead after two periods, chasing Flames’ goalie Karri Ramo from the net after he allowed four goals on 22 shots.
