"When Ryan Pulock was drafted 15th overall by the NY Islanders in the 2013 NHL Draft, the expectation was that he'd become an offensive defenseman with a howitzer of a shot. Though he hasn't become an offensive force in the NHL, he's paved his way as a staunch defender, but still possesses that cannon of a shot. At times, we've seen Pulock skate into shots, getting all 6'1" 220 lbs behind shot and hitting triple digits on the radar gun."
"But Sunday night, Pulock uncorked the hardest shot of his 10+ year career, registering 103.01 mph - the hardest shot in Islanders history. Ryan Pulock's 103.01 mph blast on Sunday was the second-fastest shot recorded this season behind Morgan Geekie (103.03 mph on Nov. 11), as well as the fastest by an @NYIslanders player in the NHL EDGE era.#NHLStats: https://t.co/DQxqYtArwT pic.twitter.com/Ngp2gJZFy3- NHL Public Relations (@NHLPR) November 24, 2025"
Ryan Pulock was drafted 15th overall in 2013 with expectations of becoming an offensive defenseman known for a powerful shot. He developed into a staunch defender while retaining an exceptionally hard shot, often skating into attempts and reaching triple-digit velocities. On Sunday he registered a 103.01 mph shot, the hardest recorded in Islanders history since NHL EDGE tracking began. That blast was the second-fastest this season behind Morgan Geekie and ranks among the top in NHL history, with Tage Thompson holding the record at 106.00 mph. Pulock's shot continues to influence opposing teams despite modest goal totals.
