  10/26/2024 • By RotoWire

  Duclair (leg) was placed on long-term injured reserve Saturday, retroactive to Oct. 19. Duclair's recovery was set for 4-6 weeks by the Islanders on Thursday, so moving to LTIR won't impact his timetable. The 29-year-old winger has two goals and an assist in five games this season. Look for a late November or early December return to the lineup for Duclair.

  Duclair (leg) will be sidelined for 4-6 weeks, the Islanders announced Thursday. Duclair was already expected to be out long-term but the team has now given a more concrete recovery timeline for the winger. At this point, the 29-year-old Quebec native could be close to returning to action come early December. Prior to getting hurt, Duclair was putting together a decent start to the year with two goals and one assist in his first five appearances. Simon Holmstrom is getting the first crack at a top-six role with Duclair on the shelf.

• Islanders' Anthony Duclair: Exits contest with leg injury

  10/20/2024 • By RotoWire

  Duclair sustained an apparent leg injury in Saturday's game versus the Canadiens, and there was no update on his status from head coach Patrick Roy after the game, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports. Duclair suffered the injury in the third period and was unable to return to the game. He didn't put any weight on his right leg while receiving assistance to get off the ice. The 29-year-old winger has earned three points through five appearances in a top-line role with the Islanders, so his absence would be a significant one if he's forced to miss time. The Islanders' next clash is Tuesday versus the Red Wings.

• Islanders' Anthony Duclair: Scores third-period goal

  10/15/2024 • By RotoWire

  Duclair scored a goal on three shots while posting a plus-2 rating in Monday's 6-2 win over the Avalanche. Duclair has found the back of the net in two of his first three games with the Isles, and while it's early in the season, he's certainly making his presence felt as a top-six forward after signing a four-year contract with the team in the offseason. He's up to three points in his first three games of the campaign, and he'll likely continue staking on the first line alongside Bo Horvat and Mathew Barzal, which should give him plenty of opportunities to keep producing.
