Back home in Brandon, Manitoba, Ryan Pulock may be nearly 3,000 miles away from the epicenter of the COVID-19 outbreak in New York, but for the New York Islanders defenseman, the magnitude of the virus is still hitting close to home. Pulock’s girlfriend, Paige Friesen, is an emergency room nurse and exposed to potential cases of the virus on a daily basis.
“They’re the first line of seeing those people,” Pulock said of Paige and her fellow nurses in the ER. “They’ve been pretty cautious in treating everyone like they have it whether they do or not and just protecting themselves in that area…It’s nerve-wracking.
Forecaster:
Pulock scored a power-play goal and added an assist during Saturday’s 4-3 overtime win against Detroit.
Pulock garnered a pair of power-play assists in Friday’s 6-3 road loss to the Capitals.
Draft:
A first-round pick (No. 15) by the Islanders in the 2013 NHL Draft, Pulock played four seasons with Brandon of the Western Hockey League, where he was among the top offensive defenseman.
He scored eight goals and 42 points in 63 games as a WHL rookie in 2010-11, leading Brandon’s defense in scoring. Those numbers went up to 19 goals, 60 points and plus-33 in 2011-12, when Pulock was named to the WHL First All-Star Team for the Eastern Conference.
Stats:
The New York Islanders have emerged as a legitimate Eastern Conference contender over the past several years due mostly to their stinginess in the defensive zone.

Salary:
The New York Islanders have emerged as a legitimate Eastern Conference contender over the past several years due mostly to their stinginess in the defensive zone.
But that doesn’t mean they don’t like to get a bit of scoring from their blueliners as well.
