What happened: His season ended last year when a blood clot shut him down, and he has now returned fully healthy for camp. It marks another step for the same Jiri Kulich who was cleared to play again this week after months of recovery.

Why it matters: A full camp puts Kulich back on track for preseason work instead of another delayed start. After a health scare threatened his short-term availability, being ready for day one is a meaningful roster development.

What to watch: Watch whether Kulich handles a normal camp workload and appears early in preseason action. That will show how quickly his clearance turns into regular on-ice reps.
