Kulak posted an assist and two hits in Monday's 9-2 win over the Sharks.
Kulak has two helpers over his last six games. The 30-year-old defenseman doesn't tend to chip in much offense from a third-pairing role, which has occasionally led to him seeing limited minutes. He's produced 15 points, 88 shots on net, 83 blocked shots, 71 hits and a plus-3 rating over 80 appearances this season.

Oilers' Brett Kulak: Back in action Monday
Rotowire
Kulak (head) will be in the lineup versus the Blues on Monday, per NHL.com.
Kulak has managed just one point in his last 13 games while recording 19 blocked shots and 14 hits. Given his limited offensive upside, the defenseman shouldn't be expected to offer much in fantasy formats outside of defensive stats. With Kulak and Cody Ceci (illness) back in the lineup, Troy Stecher is line to be a healthy scratch.

Oilers' Brett Kulak: Will travel with team
Rotowire
Kulak (head) will be evaluated for an injury, but he is expected to travel with the Oilers on their upcoming two-game road trip, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports.
Kulak was limited to 49 seconds of ice time Saturday after taking a puck to the head on his first shift. The 30-year-old defenseman is not believed to have suffered a significant injury -- it's likely his absence from the remainder of the game was precautionary, given the Oilers established a large lead after the first period. An update on Kulak's status should come before Monday's game versus the Blues.

Rotowire

This was Kulak's first game-winner since the 2018-19 campaign. The defenseman snapped a four-game point drought with his third-period tally. He was moderately productive with four assists over 12 games in February, but his spot on the third pairing isn't one that tends to lead to much offense. Kulak has 10 points, 63 shots on net, 52 blocked shots, 47 hits and a plus-6 rating over 58 appearances.

Rotowire

Kulak has four assists over eight games in February, a strong run of offense by his standards. He saw just 12:56 of ice time Wednesday, his lowest total since Jan. 16. The 30-year-old blueliner is firmly on the third pairing for the Oilers and likely won't move up as long as the team is healthy.

Oilers' Brett Kulak: Slides helper
Rotowire
Kulak logged an assist, five shots on goal and two blocked shots in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Blues.
Kulak has found a little more offense with three assists over his last eight games. It'll be tough for him to maintain that kind of production since he's in a third-pairing role with fairly limited ice time. The 30-year-old defenseman is at seven points, 51 shots on net, 50 blocked shots, 39 hits, 20 PIM and a plus-4 rating through 50 appearances this season, giving him minimal fantasy value.

Oilers' Brett Kulak: Provides helper in win
Rotowire
Kulak notched an assist and went plus-2 in Friday's 5-3 win over the Ducks.
Kulak has two helpers over his last five games after he opened January with an eight-game drought. The 30-year-old blueliner could get a short-term boost in scoring potential with Evan Bouchard joining him on the third pairing. Kulak still doesn't have a bright scoring outlook -- he's at six points with 45 shots on net, 48 blocked shots, 33 hits and a plus-1 rating through 47 appearances this season.

Oilers' Brett Kulak: Contribute assist Tuesday
Rotowire
Kulak notched an assist and three hits in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Blue Jackets.
The helper was Kulak's first point in nine January appearances. The defenseman has added 10 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating this month, but his chances to contribute much of anything are limited by his third-pairing role. Overall, he's managed five points, 43 shots on net, 45 blocked shots, 30 hits, 20 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 43 outings this season, numbers far too low to make an impact in most fantasy formats.

Oilers' Brett Kulak: Adds insurance marker
Rotowire
Kulak scored a goal and added two PIM in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Ducks.
Kulak tallied with 4:11 left in the contest to close out the scoring. The defenseman has done little on offense this season, and that continued with just two points over 12 appearances in December. Overall, he's managed two goals, two assists, 37 shots on net, 35 blocked shots, 24 hits and 16 PIM through 34 contests. He's a fixture in the Oilers' bottom four, but his lack of production across the board makes him a non-factor in fantasy.

Rotowire
Kulak recorded an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Devils.
Kulak ended his 15-game point drought with a helper on Derek Ryan's first-period marker. The 29-year-old Kulak is in the lineup for his defense, so long droughts on offense come with the territory. He's produced three points, 29 shots on net, 26 blocked shots, 18 hits and a minus-6 rating through 25 contests overall in a bottom-four role.

Oilers' Brett Kulak: Caught in drought
Rotowire
Kulak has failed to record a point over the last 15 games.
Nonetheless, Kulak is currently in no danger of losing his spot in the lineup, especially with Philip Broberg back in the AHL and Benjamin Gleason serving as the seventh defenseman. During the cold spell, Kulak has managed 14 hits, 16 blocked shots, 15 shots on net and a minus-5 rating. He'll continue to absorb bottom-four minutes as a defensive specialist, so any uptick in offense is likely to be modest.

Rotowire
Kulak produced an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Stars.

The defenseman has seen limited ice time with the Oilers dressing seven blueliners lately -- he's been under 13 minutes in each of the last two contests. Kulak has added 14 shots on net, eight blocked shots and a minus-2 rating through nine appearances, but his offense is likely to remain low while in a third-pairing role.

Oilers' Brett Kulak: Opens scoring Sunday
Rotowire
Kulak scored a goal and went plus-2 in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Flames in the Heritage Classic.
The goal was Kulak's first point in eight games this season. The 29-year-old has added eight blocked shots, 12 shots on goal and a minus-3 rating. He's primarily played in a bottom-pairing role, and with the Oilers often rolling with seven defensemen, his offense is further hindered by his mostly defensive deployments.
Kulak logged an assist, two shots on goal and three hits in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 6.
Kulak ended his six-game point drought, but the Oilers' season came to a close with the loss.
