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.”
