Are you Pulock my leg? Defenseman out 4-6 weeks with lower body injury

Ryan Pulock waited two weeks to play for the big club and after one period in Brooklyn, he’ll have to wait a few more.

Pulock sustained a lower-body injury in the Islanders’ 3-2 win over Arizona last night, and will miss the next 4-6 weeks per the club.

Although the Islanders got goals from fellow defensemen Dennis Seidenberg and Johnny Boychuk on Friday night, the coaching staff has been preaching about getting more scoring from the blueline all season so far. Jack Capuano even dropped some stats-y evidence in his post-game press conference about teams that get goals from their D being among the best in the league.
