Dmitri Kulikov

Dmitri Kulikov is a Russian defenseman on the Florida Panthers.

Kulikov was drafted by the Panthers 14th overall in 2009. Kulikov made a reputation for himself as a solid offensive defenseman with his rookie season in the QMJHL. In 2008-09, while playing 57 games, he finished with 12 goals and 62 points. His offense from the blueline will likely be expected to help fill the void left by the departure of superstar Jay Bouwmeester.
