For those wondering, according to Huska in this article
Young Defense Corps Key In Early Season Success Culkin isn't expected to miss too much time.
Hopefully that is correct. I honestly feel like Culkin is every bit as good as Kulak, I just wish the guy could stay healthy.

Unfortunately, amidst the positivity of a gutty win, the Heat did lose Culkin to an upper-body injury early in the first. Luckily for Culkin, Coach Huska said after the game that he didn’t expect his young blueliner to miss too much time and luckily for the Heat they were able to pull out the win.
“When you lose a key guy like [Ryan Culkin] early, it’s huge to have everyone step up like that – especially with a couple younger guys in the lineup,” forward Morgan Klimchuk said. “It’s what you want to see and I think it’s really encouraging. That’s what you need to win on the road.”
