Ryan Pulock sidelined with upper-body injury for 2-4 weeks

The New York Islanders announced that defenceman Ryan Pulock will be out for 2-4 weeks due to an upper-body injury sustained in Thursday's game against the Minnesota Wild. Pulock played only 51 seconds after recording an assist earlier in the match. His injury adds to the Islanders' growing list of absences, as they already have four other players, including Alexander Romanov and Mathew Barzal, on injured reserve. The team has a record of 7-5-2 as they navigate through these injuries, relying on depth players to step up in the absence of key contributors. The Islanders will need to adjust their defensive strategy as they face upcoming opponents in November.
