Pulock, 23, was a first round pick in 2013 and Islanders fans have been clamouring to get Pulock a full-time lineup spot, but he will make his season debut tonight as a seventh-defenseman. The 23-year-old had 46 points (15G / 31A) in 55 games with Bridgeport (AHL) last season but has just four points (2G / 2A) in 16 career NHL games. Pulock rotated with Johnny Boychuk on the top PP-unit in Wednesday’s practice.
Pulock has been sidelined since his season debut on October 21st and will head to Bridgeport to get back up to speed before likely returning to the Islanders. The 22-year-old blueliner has two goals and two assists (four points) in 16 career NHL games.
Pulock will miss 4-6 weeks after breaking his foot blocking a shot in Saturday’s win over the Coyotes. Nick Leddy (upper-body) is expected to take Pulock’s spot in the lineup after missing Friday’s game.
Pulock left Friday’s game with a lower-body injury after playing just 3:57 TOI in his season debut. Pulock was given a great opportunity with Nick Leddy out, but the injury forced him from the game and will force him to miss at least one month.
Pulock has not appeared in an NHL game this season and has one assist in two games with Bridgeport. Pulock could draw into the lineup for his season debut on Friday.
Pulock has been a healthy scratch in the last four games, but will replace Brian Strait tonight vs. the Lightning. Pulock, who had impressive AHL numbers, has just one goal in 10 games with the Islanders.
Pulock sat as a healthy scratch for the last two games, but will be in the lineup tonight vs. the Senators. Pulock had solid numbers in the AHL, producing 24 points (7G / 17A) in 51 games with Bridgeport, but has picked up just one goal in eight games with the Islanders. He will replace Brian Strait in the lineup.
Pulock has no points in four games, so he will come in out in favour of Marek Zidlicky tonight in Pittsburgh.
Pulock, 21, is one of the Islanders top prospects, but has yet to make his NHL debut. The 6-foot-2, 215 lbs. defenseman has 24 points (7G / 17A) in 51 games with Bridgeport this season.
Pulock, 20, took part in warmups as the seventh defenseman this afternoon, but did not get into the lineup. His return to the AHL suggests that Lubomir Visnovsky will be good to go on Tuesday.
With Travis Hamonic on IR, the Islanders have recalled Pulock, 20, who was their first round pick (15th overall) in 2013. The 6-foot-1, 218 lbs. defenseman has eight goals and five assists (13 points) in 20 games in his first full pro season.
