Islanders Re-Sign RFA, Ryan Pulock



Islanders Defenseman, Ryan Pulock has agreed to terms on a two-year contract with the team.

Per Andrew Gross, “The restricted free-agent defenseman, 23, agreed to a new, two-year deal on Tuesday. Financial terms were not immediately available. Pulock, coming off a three-year, $4.28-million entry-level deal, received a qualifying offer of $874,125 but was not arbitration eligible.”

Pulock got the attention of the organization last season when the blue-chip, call-up defender helped spark the teams struggling power play and added value to their depleted blueline. Pulock had 5 PPG in 68 games with the Isles. He finished the season with 10 & 22 for 32 points and a -4 rating in an offensive first system that left team defense and goalies struggling to maintain control in their own zone. His offensive production was a career high in goals, assists and points and he finished 2nd on the team in scoring for defensemen and first for Isles blueliners in goals.


Pulock played 163 games for the Isles Major-League Affiliate in Bridgeport amassing 39 and 61 for 100 points. Pulock was named to the AHL All-Rookie Team at the completion of the 2014-15 season and was selected to represent the Sound Tigers in the 2015 & 2016 AHL All-Star Classics.


Per Release, “Pulock has played in a total of 84 NHL games and has 36 points (12 goals and 24 assists). In six Stanley Cup playoff games, Pulock has three points (one goal and two assists).

Internationally, Pulock represented Hockey Canada most recently at the 2018 World Championship in Herning/Copenhagen, Denmark. He was a member of the bronze medal winning Team Canada team at the 2012 World Junior Championships, hosted in Edmonton/Calgary.”
