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.

Nets first NHL goal
CBuffalo Sabres
October 18, 2024
Kulich scored a goal on five shots in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Blue Jackets.
ANALYSIS
Kulich has been scratched twice over the first six games of the season, but he's making a case to be a regular. He was in the lineup over Jack Quinn in Thursday's game as head coach Lindy Ruff looks for ways to spark his struggling second line. Kulich is up to nine shots on net, four hits and three blocked shots through four appearances and should be a candidate for middle-six minutes and power-play time.
