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.

Records three points Monday

December 24, 2024
Kulich recorded two goals and an assist in Monday's 7-1 win over the Islanders.
ANALYSIS
Kulich found the twine late in the first period with a wrister to give Buffalo a two-goal advantage, and he later added an unassisted goal to round out the scoring in the final stages of the third frame. He's up to six goals on the season, and this was also the first time recorded two goals, or more than one point, in a single game in 2024-25.
