Buffalo Sabres center Jiri Kulich provided a positive health update, revealing he underwent a successful procedure to remove a blood clot that sidelined him for most of the 2025-26 season. Expecting to return next fall, he has resumed skating and conveyed that he can now participate in all activities. His absence cost him a spot on the Czech Olympic team and the Stanley Cup Playoffs, but he remained with the team during their run. Kulich’s return is crucial for Buffalo’s 2026-27 season, as he adds depth to their center lineup.
