Kulich (undisclosed) won't be in the lineup versus Detroit on Saturday, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.
Kulich also didn't play in Thursday's preseason game against Detroit after tweaking a muscle. The 21-year-old had 15 goals and nine assists over 62 regular-season games in 2024-25. He remains day-to-day, leaving a return versus Pittsburgh on Wednesday as a possibility.
