Islanders' Ryan Pulock: Could be on shelf for 4-6 weeks

Pulock is likely to be out for 4-to-6 weeks with his lower-body injury, Shannon Hogan of MSG Networks reports.

Analysis:

This is a tough blow for a guy who is already in the Calder Trophy conversation based on his supreme offensive instincts from the blue line and cannon for a shot. The Isles cannot catch a break, as Pulock had replaced yet another defenseman -- Nick Leddy (upper body) -- before going down himself in Friday's game against the Coyotes.
