Panthers scratch D. Kulikov due to jet lag
Dmitry Kulikov - D - Florida Panthers
Jan. 19, 2013 - 2:35 PM ET
Dmitry Kulikov is eligible to play after re-signing with the Florida Panthers, but won't on Saturday.
Kulikov was in Russia before he re-signed, so he's dealing with jet lag. Panthers coach Kevin Dineen seemed less than pleased with the situation. "You have to look at a guy, whether he helps you," Dineen said. "Frankly it's disappointing he's not ready to play. There are different ways around it, but he's not playing tonight. He's a guy who's had some time and should be ready to go. He signed a contract yesterday, fortunately passed his physical. He'll play Monday."
