Ryan Pulock Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections

We have a crowded slate for defensemen tonight. One of them who stands out at a reasonable price is Ryan Pulock at $4,700 on DraftKings and $4,300 on FanDuel. Ryan Pulock ended an eight game scoring drought last time out as he erupted for three assists with seven shots on goal in the Islanders' come-from-behind victory in Winnipeg. Pulock continues to provide a reasonable floor with his shot-making and shot-blocking ability. At sub-$5,000 prices, Pulock emerges as a great option in all formats.

Don’t get me wrong, there are plenty of defensemen on tonight’s slate that have a huge upside if you want to pay up for them. Brent Burns and Morgan Rielly would be at the top of this list as they each have averaged at least a point-per-game this season. Pulock comes into this one playing some solid defense as the Islanders get to host an Edmonton team that is not only giving up a ton of goals of late (27 in the last seven games), but come into this one fresh off a 3-1 loss in Carolina last night. This should bode well not only for Pulock, who has registered seven of his 26 points over the last eight games, but for the whole team as well as they sit atop the Metropolitan Division.

Ryan Pulock is not on the team's top power play unit, but that is somewhat insignificant as the Islanders tend to spread everything around. Pulock has picked his play up as of late, picking up a goal and three assists over his last six games including two games ago against these same Penguins when he recorded a helper, two shots and two blocks in a 6-2 loss. The Penguins will not have it as easy tonight as the Islanders have been solid on home ice, and Pulock's price opens up salary to grab a superstar like Nikita Kucherov.

Since his three assist outing in Pittsburgh, Pulock has failed to pick up a point in five consecutive games despite logging nearly 25 minutes of ice time. For the most part, Pulock has played on the Islanders' second power play unit, but all indications point to him moving up to the top line with Mathew Barzal anchoring the second unit. No matter where Pulock slots into, he is a defenseman with a heavy shot, and he is not afraid to let it fly. A matchup with a poor-traveling Canucks team on the tail end of a back-to-back raises Ryan's stock considerably, as well. At $4,200 on DraftKings and $4,100 on FanDuel, few others in this price range are matching Pulock's upside.

With one point that came in the New York Islanders' first game of the season, Ryan Pulock has been skunked in six straight. Accordingly, his prime has plummeted to sub-$4,000 price tags on both DraftKings and FanDuel. The Islanders have had a tough schedule to open the season, but they are in an excellent situational spot tonight against a thin Florida team which has allowed four goals per game. Pulock came on strong toward the end of last season and emerges as a strong source of salary relief, particularly in tournaments.

If you're looking to differentiate your lineup without fading the Islanders in a great matchup, consider taking the second line which features rookie standout Mathew Barzal, Jordan Eberle, and Anthony Beauvillier. They draw a juicy matchup at home against a hapless Rangers squad that has allowed the most high danger scoring chances among road teams over their past 25 games. This bodes well for the second line of the Islanders, who enter tonight's game with a combined 32 points over their last 10 games, which includes a whopping 19 points in just three previous meeting against their cross town rivals.

Many of the high dollar defensemen are appealing this evening, but from a dollar-for-dollar standpoint, Ryan Pulock will be a tough fade for me this evening. The rookie blue-liner has been sizziling of late; posting three goals and five assists during his current five game point streak. Pulock's fine play has resulted in him seeing a steady dose of playing time on the point of the Islander's second power-play unit where he's certainly not shy about unloading his cannon slapshot (his 79 SOG since the All-Star break is tied with P.K. Subban for the 5th most among all NHL defensemen). If all that wasn't enough, it's also worth mentioning that he'll face a Chicago team that owns an ugly 73.8% penalty kill during the second half of the season and Pulock absolutely torched them for a goal and four assists in their only previous meeting this season.

Ryan Pulock is fresh off two multi-point games against the Washington Capitals and continues to be a bargain blue liner across the industry. Ryan is logging 20 minutes of ice time per game and should play a key role this afternoon against a Carolina team playing on no rest. Earlier this season, the Islanders clobbered Carolina and Darling for five goals, so although the Islanders have struggled mightily over the last month, they can take advantage of this favorable situational spot. Pulock has flashed his upside here lately and can be utilized in all formats.

The Islanders have really come undone over the past month, but they are still getting decent production from Ryan Pulock who has been logging 20 minutes of ice time. Last night Pulock potted a goal and an assist on four shots as the Islanders were spanked 7-3 at home. Pulock is a dirt-cheap option on defense on a night when paying up for Brent Burns and Erik Karlsson is not a priority. Pulock checks in at $3,700 on FanDuel and $4,000 on DraftKings which makes him a viable option in all formats, though he is best served for tournaments as he is often boom or bust. The Washington defense is not one to fear, so even though the Islanders have struggled, they should be able to find some success tonight.

If you're looking to differentiate your lineup without fading the Islanders in a great matchup, consider taking the second line which features rookie standout Mathew Barzal, Jordan Eberle, and Andrew Ladd. They draw a juicy matchup at home against a struggling Washington team that has allowed the most high danger scoring chances among road teams over their past 25 games. This bodes well for the second line of the Islanders, who have generated the most high danger scoring chances on home ice over their past 25 games, setting the stage for a monster performance in what should ultimately be the highest scoring game of the night.
