Islanders’ Pulock expected to miss remainder of first round

Ryan Pulock's emergence has been put on hold.

The New York Islanders announced Thursday that Pulock, who didn't make the trip to Florida, is likely out for the rest the first round with an upper-body injury.

Jack Capuano set his timetable at 1-2 weeks.

"It's a big loss," the coach said, according to Arthur Staple of Newsday. "He's a young guy who was playing real well, he had a couple points, a big goal.

"It's a little more adversity we'll have to battle back from."

Marek Zidlicky, at the opposite end of the career spectrum, draws in.
