Ryan Pulock showed his range of capabilities during the Islanders last three games.
Defensively, Pulock hit the deck to disrupt a Steven Stamkos-Tyler Johnson two-on-one in OT in Friday's 1-0 shootout loss to Tampa Bay and tracked back in the first period to break up another chance for Tampa Bay's leading goal scorer Brayden Point in the slot. On Tuesday, he was in good position early to absorb a Brad Marchand sharp on a backdoor play.
Offensively, Pulock had a rare breakaway attempt against the Lightning on Friday, but showed his offensive chops in a three-assist third period against LA on Saturday, especially on his heads-up, hard, snap pass to Mat Barzal to tie the score.
