Pulock is the number one defenseman for the Islanders, Arthur Staple of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pulock can play in all situations and on both ends of the ice. On offense, Pulock has a booming shot that can beat any goaltender, and he will play on the top power-play unit. Defensively, Pulock has become much more consistent, which is a must under coach Barry Trotz, who believes in playing the game from the goaltender on out. Pulock is expected to be paired with Adam Pelech to start the season.

Pulock inked a two-year, $10 million pact with the Islanders on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Pulock reached the 30-point mark for the third straight season and matched his career-high 10 goals. The 26-year-old defender should be capable of putting up similar production in 2020-21 and could even push for the 40-point mark as he continues to feature on the power play. While he shouldn't be an early-round selection in re-draft formats, Pulock can offer solid mid-range fantasy value given his offensive upside.

Pulock registered a power-play goal in Tuesday's 2-1 double-overtime win over the Lightning in Game 5. He also had six hits and four blocks.
EDGE Analysis
Pulock opened the scoring late in the first period one he hammered a one-timer from the top of the left circle. The veteran defenseman hadn't lit the lamp since the second game of the postseason, going the next 18 games without a goal before finding the net Tuesday. Pulock produced well during the regular season with 10 goals and 25 assists, but finds himself with just two goals and eight helpers in 21 playoff tilts.

EDGE Analysis
Pulock set up Cal Clutterbuck for the game's opening goal in the first period. The 25-year-old Pulock has cooled off a bit with just three helpers in his last 10 games. He's at a goal, eight assists, 38 shots on net, 48 blocked shots and 41 hits through 19 outings overall.

Pulock has 10 goals, 25 assists and a rating of plus-8 in 68 games this season.
EDGE Analysis
Pulock has already tied his career high in goals this season and was well on his way to setting a career high in points before the campaign was suspended. Pulock will be a restricted free agent after the season, but general manager Lou Lamoriello has already stated that he will match any offer that might come the blueliner's way. Pulock should anchor the second pairing for the Isles for years to come.

Pulock scored a power-play goal on four shots in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
Pulock lit the lamp late in the third period to cut the deficit to three, but it was too little, too late for the Islanders, as they dropped a fourth straight game. The 25-year-old Pulock now has eight goals and 25 assists through 65 games, and he contributes well defensively with 1-2 hits and 136 blocked shots.

Pulock (undisclosed) had an assist and led the team with six shots and five blocks in Monday's 5-3 win over Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Pulock appeared to take an awkward hit late in Saturday's game but was right back in the lineup Monday. He contributed a terrific all-around box score in the win over the Capitals, logging an assist for the fifth time in six games and racking up team-leading totals in the shots and blocks columns. He was also plus-2. Pulock has six goals and 22 assists in 54 games on the year.

Pulock (undisclosed) will play in Monday's game versus the Capitals, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pulock took an awkward hit with 90 seconds left in Saturday's loss to the Lightning, but he relayed that he's "fine" for Monday's clash. The 25-year-old will work on the top pairing, and he'll look to stay hot, as he's posted four assists over the last five games.

Pulock (undisclosed) exited Saturday's game against the Lightning after a hit late in the third period, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pulock was crushed into the boards by the Lightning's Alex Killorn. After the game, head coach Barry Trotz had no update on the defenseman's status. Losing Pulock would be a massive blow to the Islanders' blue line -- he has 27 points and 98 blocked shots through 53 contests and has averaged over 22 minutes per game. Expect an update on the 25-year-old to surface prior to Monday's clash with the Capitals.
