The Islanders are playing their best hockey of the season, but they are facing as bad an injury crisis as they’ve had in a season filled with them.
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.
