Jiri Kulich

20-Year-Old CenterC
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Taken with the No. 28 overall pick in the 2022 NHL Draft, Kulich got his first taste of NHL action when he registered a shot and a hit over 14:53 of ice time Nov. 25, but where he really turned some heads last season was in the AHL. He provided 45 points, including a team-high 27 goals, in 57 outings with Rochester. The 20-year-old is entering training camp with a shot of making the Sabres' Opening Night roster, and even if he falls short of that position, it wouldn't be surprising to see Kulich end up with the Sabres at some point during 2024-25 as an injury replacement.

Set to play Tuesday
CBuffalo Sabres
March 25, 2025
Kulich (concussion) is expected to be in the lineup Tuesday versus the Senators, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.
ANALYSIS
Kulich was out for four games, but his presence in line rushes on the first line suggests he's ready to return. He has 19 points in 49 appearances this season and could carve out some fantasy value as a streaming option as long as he remains in the top six.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Might return Tuesday
CBuffalo Sabres
March 25, 2025
Kulich might play Tuesday versus Ottawa after missing four straight games due to a concussion, per Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald.
ANALYSIS
Kulich has 12 goals and 19 points in 49 appearances in 2024-25. The Sabres are expected to be without Jordan Greenway, Sam Lafferty, and Josh Norris due to lower body, groin and undisclosed injuries, respectively, so if Kulich is out too, then Buffalo would either need to recall a forward from the minors or dress seven defensemen.
