Kulikov (head) won't play Thursday versus the Bruins, George Richards of Florida Hockey Now reports.
Kulikov's CT scan results haven't been revealed, but he is hurt enough to sit out of a game that has no impact for the Panthers. The 35-year-old will join Aaron Ekblad (hand) as the most recent injuries for the Panthers. Mikulas Hovorka and Tobias Bjornfot will take their places in the lineup Thursday.
