Hockey season is nearly upon us, and with that in mind, we’ll take a look at five players from the local teams to keep an eye on as the 2015-16 campaign progresses. It’s always a challenge to pick breakout candidates, but here are mine:
Honorable Mention: Ryan Pulock, D (Islanders)
He might not start with the Isles, but he could get his chance to play midseason. I think he’ll take it and inevitably stick around from that point forward. He’s ready.
5. Eric Gelinas, D (Devils)
He has a hard shot, but has been a defensive liability in the past.
