While I would love it if he starts popping off, I would caution that this bolded statement about them scoring "a lot of goals" is not what is happening for the team. They have scored only 13 goals in the 6 games since his most recent recall and he has one of them, the OT winner in LA. That's 4th worst goals per game in the NHL in that span of time. It's not like they are running up a lot as their middle 6 has been either slumping (Quinn, 1 goal and that an ENG for the year) or returning to their norms (McLeod after a hot start) or just struggling (Cozens) or flat out of the lineup (Thompson).
He's getting chances around the net. He isn't on PP1 (which is a different conversation, it would warrant a shot no pun intended for him to be up on that unit). His forehand linemate is struggling to finish (Quinn) but has had a handful of good games with Kulich as his center compared to the rest of his campaign.
I would love it if everything started to work for him and the points started to fall for him like they are for other league leaders. That would be great. Just don't fold in some league worst scoring during this recall with him necessarily being the reason for it. It goes way beyond him.
I meant overall their scoring is not the best, but also not worst. Still out of 13 goals he got 1, not even 1 assist added to that.
I would so much love for him to start piling up, but its just not happening for some reason. Facts are facts. and the fact is he is right now 41 among rookie scoring leaders, which just suck for a prospect with his skills.
Btw another czech prospect Ivan Ivan who just came out of nowhere this year is 10th with 8points in Colorado, which is around the same level as for points and goals scored as Buffalo this year so far. Sure he has couple more games played but still.
Kulich should have had at least 6-7points by now. I so much hope and wish he can burst trough this and start to pile up points, I am waiting and waiting every night, but the games are just piling up and the points are still nowhere to be found.
He may play all great he wants, but in the end, if you want to be a top6 forward in NHL, you just need to produce, thats another fact.
