Pulock is dealing with an upper-body injury sustained in the first period of Saturday's game versus the Hurricanes, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports. It's unclear if Pulock will miss time, but it's not encouraging that he missed nearly the whole contest after getting hurt on the first shift.

Ryan Pulock and Marcus Hogberg were both placed on IR retroactive to Jan. 25 with upper-body injuries, Jakub Skarek recalled

The New York Islanders announced that the club placed defenseman Ryan Pulock and goaltender Marcus Hogberg on the Injured Reserve list.

Moves to IR

With Noah Dobson expected to miss an extended period of time, Ryan Pulock is the most likely candidate to be the Islanders' new power play quarterback.

EAST MEADOW, NY -- The New York Islanders announced on Monday morning that defenseman Ryan Pulock and goaltender Marcus Hogberg have been placed on injured reserve with upper-body injuries. Goalie Jakub Skarek has been recalled.

If Pulock is going to be out for a bit, the Islanders are likely to recall right-shot defenseman Grant Hutton from Bridgeport. The 29-year-old has played in 13 games for New York this season with two assists while averaging 13:28 minutes per game.

Ryan Pulock left Saturday's game early and is dealing with a lower-body injury, and goalie Marcus Hogberg may also potentially be hurt.

Islanders defenseman Ryan Pulock and goaltender Marcus Högberg have both landed on injured reserve after leaving Saturday’s overtime win over the Hurricanes with upper-body injuries, the team announced.

Pulock headed straight to the Islanders' dressing room just 15 seconds into the first period appearing to favor his left arm.

The two new defensemen seem to fit in like a glove in a very small sample size. Their ability to see the ice and help the transition games by skating with the puck or moving the puck up the ice with stretch passes fits head coach Patrick Roy 's M.O. to a tee. Both can play quarterback on the power play, a skill the Islanders desperately need.

The 5-10, 175-pound Perunovich logged 18:52 and was a plus-2 with two shots, earning enough of Roy’s trust to play key shifts in the third period. Tony DeAngelo, signed out of the KHL on Friday, played 22:11 with two blocked shots as he also earned his first point as an Islander with an assist in his second game.
