It's My Other Business That Needs Help.

Nikolay Kulemin played 81 games this season, scoring 22 points on nine goals and 13 assists. He had two multi-point games, which means he had no points in 61 games. He experienced not one but two massive slumps, one 29-game stretch with no goals and six assists and one 33-game drought in which he had one goal and two assists.

That is not good for a full season. In one extra game last season, Kulemin had a more respectable 15 goals and 16 assists.

But points aren't everything, right?
