Isles defenseman Ryan Pulock ends scoring drought with pair of goals

Ryan Pulock is hoping there’s more to come.

The Islanders defenseman’s two goals, first on the power play and then the overtime winner in Saturday afternoon’s 4-3 win over the Avalance at Barclays Center, gave him five for the season after he had gone 15 games without a goal dating to Dec. 31.

“It’s been a while since I scored,” said Pulock, who took a game-high eight shots. “Maybe at times I was gripping the stick a little too tight. Hopefully, I’ll stay hot.”

Pulock has 25 points in 54 games after notching 10 goals and 22 assists in 68 games last season.
