Pulock left the Islanders' game Thursday vs. Columbus in the third period after 16:28 TOI due to a lower-body injury and has been placed on the Injured Reserve Friday. The 29-year-old heavy shooting defensemen had struggled a bit prior to his injury, with two goals, four assists, 34 SOG, eight PIMs and a -6 plus/minus through 25 games.

Pulock has been out since November 15th but is expected to be back in the lineup on Tuesday. Pulock had a slow start to the season, posting just two assists in 12 games.
