Oilers' Brett Kulak: Two-point effort Saturday
Rotowire
Kulak collected two assists, one short-handed, in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Blue Jackets.
It was only the third multi-point performance of the season for Kulak, but two of them have come in the last eight games. The stay-at-home blueliner is quietly on pace for a career-best offensive season, albeit with only two goals and 17 points through 60 games.

Rotowire
Kulak posted an assist, two shots on goal, five hits, six PIM and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Red Wings.

Rotowire

Oilers' Brett Kulak: Logs another assist
Rotowire
Kulak posted an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 6-5 win over the Blackhawks.

The 28-year-old has been a steady defensive presence on the second pairing, adding a plus-6 rating and 12 blocked shots in eight contests overall. He won't contribute a lot of offense, and he's not overly physical, so he's best left on the waiver wire in fantasy.

Oilers' Brett Kulak: Sticking with team
Rotowire
Kulak re-signed with Edmonton on a four-year, $11 million deal Wednesday.
After coming over to the Oilers at the trade deadline, Kulak notched eight points in 18 regular-season contests while adding five helpers in 16 playoff games. Including his numbers with Montreal, last season was KUlak's most productive as he crested the 20-point threshold for the first time in his eight-year NHL career. While he could repeat that feat in 2022-23, kulak shouldn't be expected to offer more than mid-range fantasy value given his limited offensive skill set.
