Well, this isn’t the start to the season Ryan Pulock was hoping for.
After playing six games with the Islanders during last year’s playoffs, many expected Pulock to make the team out of training, but that didn’t happen.
He didn’t spend much time in the minors (two games) because of the injury to Nick Leddy.
Pulock made his season debut in last night’s game against Arizona. Unfortunately for him, he suffered a lower-body injury after playing just 3:57.
On Saturday, the team announced that Pulock will be out anywhere between 4-to-6 weeks.
If Leddy can’t play on Sunday, the Islanders will have to recall another defenseman from the minors. Because they’re carrying three goalies, they only have room for six blue liners.
