The supporting cast of Scott Perunovich and Adam Boqvist -- Tony DeAngelo filled Noah Dobson's role--played a huge part in the Islanders' extending their winning streak to six games heading into their weekend back-to-back in Florida.
The New York Islanders will see a boost on their blue line as on Saturday the club activated defensemen Scott Mayfield and Ryan Pulock from the injured reserve, reports Andrew Gross of New York Newsday.
The 4 Nations break proved fruitful for an Islanders squad that was as banged-up as it gets going into the layoff.
Pulock (upper body) is at morning practice in a regular jersey, according to Denis Gorman of Newsday. Pulock was injured Jan. 25 against the Hurricanes and has missed the last seven games. He is expected to be activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's home tilt versus Dallas.
