New York Notables/Pulock Injury |

Pulock is out 2-4 weeks/upper body. Hard to say what happens. Schaefer continues bouncing around RD-LD but clearly with all the LD in the organization Dache's plan is him to play RD. George went back to Hamilton. They only have LD signed there. Kessel a RD plays more LD, so it's Schaefer, then DeAngelo (who struggles on D) Kessel & Mayfield.
On paper New York is on par with last year 6-6-2 vs 7-5-2, but fewer goals, fewer goals allowed, the competition changes on Thursday with Carolina coming in. The forwards frankly can't score but we know that, and Duclair has made plays that got them more goals then expected. Of course they gave up a goal vs Edmonton and Deboer's offensive response was McDonald-Cizikas-Chaffee with Engvall/Foudy waiting on the now last place Hamilton Hammers. Not good. For reference last years deal is about to win 7/8, Heineman was red hot last year and Horvat was scoring, Lee had a very hot week last November. Now it's no Barzal, Heimenan looking like another fourth liner and 21-53-81-44-10-81-11 and Holmstrom not giving them enough. I have no answers and the building went from 2/3 empty to 1/2 empty for Edmonton on a Saturday, who started Jarry who did not have to make any big saves and would not have made them.
