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.

$Signed a three-year, entry-level deal with the Sabres in July of 2022.
Called up Friday
CBuffalo Sabres
November 15, 2024
Kulich was called up from AHL Rochester on Friday, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Kulich will take the roster spot of Tage Thompson (lower body), who was placed on injured reserve in a corresponding move. Kulich could be an option to play Saturday versus the Flyers if Jordan Greenway (undisclosed) can't suit up. Through eight NHL appearances this season, Kulich has a goal, 17 shots on net and eight hits.
