Florida Panthers defenseman Dmitry Kulikov won't need surgery for his knee injury but is expected to miss 2-4 weeks, according to The Miami Herald.
Kulikov sustained the injury Saturday in a 5-4 shootout win against the Tampa Bay Lightning and missed the Panthers' 1-0 win against the Lightning in the back end of a home-and-home on Monday.
Kulikov, 25, has three assists in 17 games this season.
