Islanders overcome Cizikas’s injury, return to conquer Flyers
With 27 games remaining in the regular season, the New York Islanders are already well into playoff mode.
“That was huge, obviously,” defenseman Ryan Pulock beamed Tuesday night after scoring the go-ahead goal with 41 seconds remaining in the Islanders’ pivotal 5-3 victory over rival Philadelphia in front of 12,228 fans at Downtown’s Barclays Center.
“Finding a way to get it done and not give [the Flyers] those points could be very big at the end of the year,” added Pulock.
