Duclair had to be helped off the ice after suffering an apparent leg injury in Saturday's game. Post-game head coach Patrick Roy did not have an update on Duclair and they don't practice on Sunday, so don't expect an update on the winger until Monday at the earliest.
Duclair will join his ninth NHL team in 11 seasons after he signed a four-year deal worth $14.0 million ($3.5M AAV) with the Islanders on Monday. The 28-year-old went on a nice run with Tampa Bay after being acquired at last year's trade deadline, with 15 points in 17 games to add to his 24 goals and 42 points in 73 games played on the season.
Duclair has been solid since joining Tampa Bay before the trade deadline, scoring 12 points (6G / 6A) in 14 games, but will not play on Thursday due to an illness. Conor Sheary will draw into the lineup as his replacement.
Duclair was acquired on Thursday from San Jose and is expected to make his Lightning debut on Saturday vs. Philadelphia. Duclair finds himself on his sixth NHL team but has been enjoying a solid season despite the weak team around him in San Jose, with 16 goals, 27 points, 28 PIMs and a -12 plus/minus in 56 games before the trade.
Duclair has underwhelmed in his first season as a Shark, but will now get the benefit of playing with a demonstrably better surrounding cast in Tampa Bay. The 28-year-old winger had 16 goals and 11 assists in 56 games with San Jose. He will now return to the state of Florida where he spent the previous three seasons playing with the Panthers.
With the impending trade deadline approaching, Duclair might be held out of the lineup in anticipation of a trade. Duclair has managed to be semi-productive for a low-scoring Sharks team this season, tallying 27 points (16G / 11A) in 56 games.
Sharks head coach David Quinn alluded to potential lineup changes ahead of Tuesday's game due to injury/illness, and it appears Duclair is the change he was referring to. Duclair has eight goals and eight assists in 40 games this season.
Duclair was a healthy scratch in the Sharks' 6-2 loss to the Colorado Avalanche on Sunday but will return to the lineup Tuesday night against the Los Angeles Kings. Duclair has played predominantly with Mikael Granlund and Fabian Zetterlund, scoring 11 points (6G / 5A) in 27 games this season.
Duclair exited Sunday's game against the Vegas Golden Knights with an upper-body injury after playing only 5:50 time-on-ice, depleting a Sharks offence that was already without William Eklund, leading to Tomas Hertl playing a season-high 28:46. Duclair has five points (3G / 2A) in his last five games along with a +6 plus/minus and will be ready to play on Tuesday against the Edmonton Oilers.
