Duclair missed Saturday's game vs. the Lightning but head coach D.J. Smith expects to have their leading goal-scorer to play tonight in Washington. The Senators did not hold a morning skate so we'll have to wait for an update during Smith's pre-game availability.
Duclair was nicked up on Thursday and will be a game-time decision against the Lightning. Monitor his status when the Senators hit the ice for warmups at 6:30 pm ET.
Duclair was acquired from the Blue Jackets as a part of the Matt Duchene trade and drastically improved his numbers in Ottawa. Duclair saw over 1:30 TOI more per game with the Senators and scored eight goals with six assists (14 points) in 21 games. With a lack of talent in Ottawa heading into 2019-20, Duclair should continue to play a middle-6 role for the Senators.
Duclair has fallen out of favour in Columbus but is a player who possesses a lot of potential and upside. Duclair has scored 11 goals and eight assists (19 points) in 52 games this season. Duclair could play a big role in Ottawa with the team selling off most of their top players at the deadline.
Even with Boone Jenner out, Duclair was demoted to the Blue Jackets’ fourth line in their last game and will be a healthy scratch on Monday with both Eric Robinson and Kole Sherwood remaining in the lineup.
Duclair was a healthy scratch on Friday but will replace Kevin Stenlund on Saturday. Duclair has 10 goals and five assists (15 points) in 40 games this season.
Duclair has been in the lineup for 14 consecutive games but has just two goals and one assist during that time. With Brandon Dubinsky (hamstring) set to return to the lineup on Friday, Duclair looks like the healthy scratch.
Duclair was a healthy scratch for the last four games but will replace Lukas Sedlak in the lineup on Saturday. Duclair has recorded eight goals and four assists (12 points) in 24 games this season and will skate on the third line tonight.
Duclair was caught in a strange collision with Bruins forward Brad Marchand, who essentially clotheslined Duclair and forcing his knee to buckle. Duclair left the ice in pain, but the news certainly could have been worse for the young forward.
After being acquired from the Coyotes, Duclair is set to make his Blackhawks debut on a line with David Kampf and Alex DeBrincat. Duclair comes to Chicago with nine goals and six assists (15 points) in 33 games.
Duclair reportedly asked to be dealt out of Arizona and they granted his wish. Duclair has nine goals and six assists (15 points) in 33 games with the Coyotes this season, but has yet to live up to expectations to this point in his career. Duclair is still young and could become a capable goal-scorer in this league and will look to start fresh in Chicago. The Blackhawks don’t have a lot depth on the wing, so Duclair could earn a sizeable role at some point.
Duclair has been a healthy scratch for the last two games, but will get back into the lineup tonight vs. the Sabres. Duclair has had a tough start to the season, recording just five points (3G / 2A) in 11 games this season.
Duclair, who had a breakout 20-goal, 24-assist season in 2015-16, struggled to just nine points (3G / 6A) in 41 games this season before being sent down. During his time with the Roadrunners, the 21-year-old tallied just one goal and seven assists (eight points) in 16 games.
Duclair has had a very difficult first quarter of the season, having picked up just one goal and three assists in 23 games. Duclair will sit tonight and allow Brendan Perlini to make his NHL debut. Duclair is also apparently on the Coyotes’ trade block as well.
