Islanders Rule Tony DeAngelo Out 1–2 Weeks as Pulock Returns

The blue line now hinges on short-term fixes during a tight playoff race.

Overview

  • New York announced Thursday that Tony DeAngelo will miss one to two weeks with a lower-body injury.
  • DeAngelo exited Tuesday’s loss to the Blackhawks in the first period and then missed his first game of the season after 72 straight appearances.
  • Ryan Pulock returned from a lower-body issue and logged 20:53 in a 2-1 win over the Stars, which kept AHL call-up Isaiah George out of the lineup.
  • With DeAngelo sidelined, Patrick Roy shuffled pairs, including Carson Soucy sliding to the right of Adam Pelech and Scott Mayfield lining up with Adam Boqvist.
  • Alexander Romanov skated in a non-contact jersey and is not expected back before the regular season ends, a key factor as the 40-27-5 Islanders sit one point behind Pittsburgh for third in the Metro.
