During the [[2004–05 NHL lockout]], Bulis played for [[HC Pardubice]] in the Czech Republic Elite League. He scored 24 [[Goal (ice hockey)|goals]] and had 25 [[Assist (ice hockey)|assists]] in 45 games played. Bulis recorded his best NHL season in [[2005–06 NHL season|2005–06]] with Montreal where he scored 20 [[Goal (ice hockey)|goals]] and 20 [[Assist (ice hockey)|assists]] for 40 [[Point (ice hockey)|points]] in 73 games played.
