The New York Islanders’ roller coaster of a season had plenty of highs and more than enough lows. They had plenty of games go to overtime, 26 to be exact, and multiple games where they had comfortable leads in the third period, only to fall apart and end up on the losing end.
Goals from Ryan Pulock, Mat Barzal, and JG Pageau, plus a 27 save performance from Semyon Varlamov, help the Isles secure the win. They absolutely needed that one.
For basically the entirety of this season, the New York Islanders have played without much of their defense corps. But now, as they face an uphill climb to get back into the playoff picture, the Islanders are nearly back at full strength after activating Ryan Pulock off of long-term injured reserve.
The New York Islanders are facing a multitude of injuries and a tight cap. Because of that, they’ve moved forward Casey Cizikas (lower-body) and defenseman Robert Bortuzzo (lower-body) to long-term injured reserve.
Ryan Pulock has been out of the lineup for the New York Islanders for quite some time, and it looks like he will be for even more after being placed on long-term injured reserve Saturday, according to the team.
The Islanders have made a pair of roster moves in advance of Sunday’s game against Pittsburgh.
What are the New York Islanders thankful for this holiday season? Let's dive in.
The New York Islanders have acquired defenseman Robert Bortuzzo from the St. Louis Blues in exchange for their seventh-round pick in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft, per a team announcement.
The catastrophic losses keep coming on the New York Islanders’ blueline. They already have No. 1 defenseman Adam Pelech and depth option Sebastian Aho on IR and, on Friday, they announced that another one of their top-four defensemen, Ryan Pulock, was landing on IR with a lower-body injury.

Let's take a look at what to expect from the New York Islanders this upcoming season.
As the start of the season draws nearer for the New York Islanders, it’s time we begin to discuss expectations for every player, along with some other members of the organization.
Are we going to have a Panthers-Knights final? Both NHL conference finals are now at 2-0 after the Knights won in overtime Sunday afternoon over the Stars in Vegas.
Never say never, I guess. But the Islanders need to mount a three-game win streak or head home. Ah, well. At least they made the playoffs and didn’t get swept nor gentlemen’s swept, I guess.
If the Carolina Hurricanes' revived power play continues to have postseason success, that might not bode well for the New York Islanders, who have their own offensive special teams' issues.
Pageau, Palmieri, Pulock and Parise deliver must-have points, while Sorokin does his thing. The New York Islanders completed a successful California road trip by beating the San Jose Sharks handily, 4-1, taking four of a possible six points from a rare late-season swing out West.
The Islanders endured their own COVID-19 outbreak shortly after the Thanksgiving holiday and are scheduled to return to the ice via Thursday's home game versus the New Jersey Devils.
Pulock played just 16:45 on Monday but exited early after blocking a shot while shorthanded. It’s a huge blow for an Islanders team already reeling, embarrassed 6-1 Tuesday night by the Florida Panthers.
On Oct. 14, the New York Islanders agreed to an eight-year contract with 27-year-old defenseman Ryan Pulock. The team’s top right-side defenseman, in many ways, reflects head coach Barry Trotz’s vision for the team as a disciplined, defense-first skater who is also a quiet, team-first player.
The 15th overall pick from eight years ago has been very durable thus far, appearing in every single Islanders' contest over the past three seasons.
As the action was frantic on Wednesday evening in the NHL, some off-ice news crossed the desks of the analysts covering all the games. The New York Islanders, who didn’t have a game, got some internal housekeeping done, signing defenseman Ryan Pulock to a massive, but good value eight-year extension.
