Ryan Pulock keeps shooting, Adam Pelech keeps breaking up plays and the top-pair defensemen continue to be key contributors as the Islanders keep winning.
The Islanders, tied with the Capitals atop the East Division, have won the first three games of a six-game homestand as they face the Flyers on Thursday night at Nassau Coliseum.
Both Pelech and Pulock were extremely noticeable in Tuesday’s 1-0 win over the Capitals.
Pulock took a team-high five shots in a team-high 23:09 and Brock Nelson scored the lone goal of the game in the third period on the rebound of his blast from the right point.
