Ryan Pulock once again held it down as the Islanders number one defenseman. What can we expect from him in 2021?
Since coming into the league full time in 2017-2018, Ryan Pulock’s role with the Islanders has expanded year over year. When Barry Trotz arrived it was fairly evident that Pulock would be the number one defenseman and he’s done a solid job the past two seasons.
In year one under Trotz, Pulock’s ice time jumped up to over 22 minutes a night and he finished with a career-high of 37 points.
