Report: Panthers ink Kulikov to 4-year deal

The Florida Panthers are re-signing defenseman Dmitry Kulikov to a four-year contract worth $1.15 million per season, reports TSN's Bob McKenzie.

Kulikov, who was drafted 14th overall by Florida in 2009, joined the Panthers for a second tour of duty last summer on a one-year agreement.

The 33-year-old recorded 20 points in 76 games and helped Florida capture the Stanley Cup in a shutdown, penalty-killing role on the blue line.

Kulikov has suited up for eight different teams over a 15-year career.

The Panthers also re-signed star forward Sam Reinhart on Monday.
