ANTHONY DUCLAIR NEWS

Picks up assist Saturday Duclair notched an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Sharks.

Impact Duclair had three points over three contests following his return from a lower-body injury, but he followed it up with an eight-game slump. That drought ended Saturday when he set up Ryan Pulock's third-period tally. Between his long-term absence and a middle-six role, Duclair's first season as an Islander has not gone well so far. He has seven points, 22 shots on net and a minus-4 rating over 17 appearances.

First goal since return Duclair scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Penguins.

Impact Duclair put the Islanders ahead 2-1 in the second period. The goal was his first in three games since he returned from a lower-body injury, and he's added two assists in that span. While he's in a middle-six role for now, he's been productive and could move up the lineup if head coach Patrick Roy makes any changes. Duclair has three goals, three helpers, 11 shots on net and a minus-2 rating over eight appearances in 2024-25.

Helpers in consecutive contests Duclair logged an assist and went minus-2 in Monday's 7-1 loss to the Sabres.

Impact Duclair has a helper in each of his two games since he returned from a long-term lower-body injury. He's been on the second line and isn't currently seeing power-play time, so that will need to change to keep his offense sustainable. The winger has five points, nine shots on net and a minus-3 rating over seven appearances this season.

Assist in return from injury Duclair (lower body) picked up an assist Saturday in a 6-3 win over Toronto.

Impact He had missed 28 games because of a lower-body injury that he sustained Oct. 19. Duclair slipped into the top six beside Brock Nelson and Kyle Palmieri. It will take a bit for the trio to develop chemistry after such a long absence, but he's a finisher who'll really complement that duo. Get Duclair into your lineup if you've had him stashed.

Off long-term injured reserve Duclair (lower body) was activated off long-term injured reserve Friday, per Stefen Rosner of NHL.com.

Impact Duclair was originally considered a game-time decision for Saturday's tilt against Toronto, but this move seems to suggest that he'll be available for the game. The 29-year-old has two goals and three points in five outings in 2024-25. Duclair is projected to serve on the second line alongside Brock Nelson and Kyle Palmieri in his return.

Game-time decision for Friday Duclair (lower body) will be a game-time decision when the Islanders square off with the Maple Leafs on Saturday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

Impact Duclair has been out of action since Oct. 19 against the Canadiens, a stretch of 28 games on the shelf due to his lower-body injury. In addition to resuming a top-six role, the 29-year-old winger should see minutes with the man advantage -- a role he's filled in each of his previous stops. Prior to his absence, Duclair had registered two goals and one assist in five contests.

Not quite ready to return Duclair (lower body) has been medically cleared but won't play Tuesday against Carolina, per Stefen Rosner of NHL.com.

Impact Duclair will miss his 28th straight game. However, he is very close to being available to return to the lineup. Duclair will occupy a top-six role in the lineup once he feels ready to play. He has two goals, one assist and eight shots on net through five outings this season.

Doubtful Sunday Per Stefen Rosner of NHL.com, Duclair (lower body) is unlikely to play Sunday in Chicago, according to coach Patrick Roy.

Impact Roy stated Saturday that it's more likely that Duclair will return in Carolina on Tuesday.

Deemed day-to-day Duclair (lower body) was labeled day-to-day by head coach Patrick Roy on Thursday but remains without a timeline to return to action, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

Impact Duclair took the ice in a regular jersey during Thursday's game-day skate and would seem to be trending in the right direction. The 29-year-old winger has been on the shelf since Oct. 19 versus the Canadiens, a stretch of 25 games on the shelf due to his lower-body issue. Whenever Duclair is cleared to play, he should immediately jump back into a top-six role which could see Jean-Gabriel Pageau relegated back to a third-line assignment.

Skating in non-contact sweater Duclair (lower body) took the ice Tuesday sporting a non-contact jersey, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

Impact Duclair is certainly trending in the right direction as he continues to work his way back from a long-term injury. Based on his original timeline, there is a chance the winger will be ready to play before the Christmas break -- though the Isles might find it more beneficial to hold him out until their Dec. 28 matchup with the Penguins. When he does return, Duclair should jump right back into the mix for a spot on the first line in addition to the No. 1 power-play unit.

Skating on his own Duclair (leg) has begun skating on his own, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reported Friday.

Impact Duclair suffered a leg injury Oct. 19 against the Canadiens and was given a 4-6 week timeframe for his return. Saturday will mark the six-week mark and Duclair has yet to resume practicing with the Islanders. Duclair had a pair of goals and an assist in five NHL games before his injury.
