Latest news
Kulak notched two assists, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 7-3 win over the Flames.
Kulak has earned all three of his assists this season over the last two games. The 32-year-old defenseman is seeing steady usage in a bottom-four role. He's added eight blocked shots, two shots on net and a plus-1 rating. Kulak is unlikely to get power-play time, but he'll probably continue to be a fixture in the Colorado lineup after signing a five-year contract extension in June.

Kulak signed a five-year, $22.5 million contract with the Avalanche on Friday.
Kulak was moved around during the 2025-26 campaign, spending time with the Oilers, Penguins and Avalanche. However, he'll gain some stability over the next few years after he was slated to become a free agent during the offseason. Across 83 regular-season appearances between his three teams last season, he logged a goal, 11 assists, 108 blocked shots, 38 PIM and 19 hits while averaging 18:58 of ice time.

Kulak scored a goal and added an assist in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Wild in Game 5.
Kulak's first goal of the postseason came at 3:52 of overtime, completing the Avalanche's comeback from a 3-0 first-period deficit. The defenseman has contributed a goal, four assists, eight shots on net, 20 blocked shots, six PIM and a plus-3 rating over nine playoff outings. He should continue to see top-four minutes in the Western Conference Finals.

Kulak notched two assists and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Wild in Game 2.
Kulak has earned three helpers over six playoff outings while filling a top-four role on the blue line. He'll be tasked with continuing to fill a shutdown role as Josh Manson (upper body) works his way back into playing shape. Kulak has added 17 blocked shots, five shots on goal, six PIM and a plus-3 rating this postseason.

Kulak notched an assist in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Flames.
Kulak had gone 18 games without a point entering Tuesday. He's filled in for a few blueliners recently, most notably Cale Makar, who returned from an upper-body injury Tuesday. Devon Toews (undisclosed) was out, allowing Kulak to stay in a top-four role, but if the Avalanche are healthy in the postseason, Kulak could be a bottom-four option. Between Colorado, Pittsburgh and Edmonton this year, he has one goal, 12 points, 93 shots on net, 106 blocked shots, 38 PIM and a minus-4 rating over 82 appearances.
RotoWire via ESPN · Apr 15
Kulak generated an assist in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Ducks.
The helper was Kulak's first point in five games with the Avalanche. The defenseman has taken on a third-pairing role since he was acquired from the Penguins. For three teams this season, Kulak has accumulated 10 points, 68 shots on net, 85 blocked shots, 28 PIM and a minus-3 rating over 61 appearances.
