Florida Panthers defenseman Dmitry Kulikov will be out of action for "at least a week" after suffering a lower-body injury in Saturday's game against the Tampa Bay Lightning, according to head coach Gerard Gallant.
Gallant also told Harvey Fialkov of the Sun Sentinel that the 25-year-old will undergo an MRI.
The injury was sustained after Kulikov was hit along the boards early in the second period.
Kulikov has three assists in 17 games this season.
