Kulak was obtained by the Avalanche from the Penguins on Tuesday in exchange for Samuel Girard and a 2028 second-round pick.

Scouting Report

A big scorer in junior hockey, he has settled into more of a depth role on defense in the NHL. Has enough offensive skill to earn some power-play time, if required, but makes his living in his own zone trying to keep opponents from camping out in front of the net. He makes a good complement for an offensive partner because he is willing to stay at home.

Long Range Potential: Decent defensive defenseman.
