Duclair (personal) will probably report to training camp in the fall, per Arthur Staple of The Athletic on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Duclair produced seven goals, 11 points, 60 shots on net, 21 blocked shots and 26 hits across 44 appearances before missing the final eight games of the 2024-25 regular season due to a personal matter. He should be in the mix for a top-six role going into the 2025-26 campaign.

Head coach Patrick Roy said Thursday that Duclair has stepped away from the team for personal reasons, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

While it's not yet clear how long Duclair will be away from the team, Roy said that the 29-year-old needed some time off to reflect and that the Islanders plan to give him all the time he needs. Duclair has made 44 appearances for the Islanders this season, recording seven goals, four assists, 26 hits and 21 blocked shots while averaging 15:03 of ice time.

Duclair scored a power-play goal on his lone shot on net in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win against the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

Duclair scored the opening goal on a power play early in the first period. The 29-year-old winger is up to seven goals, 11 points and 54 shots on net across 38 appearances this season. Thursday's twine finder ended a five-game drought without a goal for Duclair who has struggled this calendar year. Unless he can string together points in consecutive games, we might not see another late-season resurgence from Duclair like he had with Tampa Bay a season ago. However, it is encouraging to see him playing top six minutes at even strength and on New York's second power-play unit.

Duclair scored a power-play goal on two shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Duclair snapped a four-game goal drought, a span in which he was also scratched once. The 29-year-old winger is in a top-line role at even strength once again, but he's struggled to find any consistency in his first year with the Islanders. He's at six goals, four helpers, 46 shots on net and a minus-10 rating over 32 appearances in 2024-25.

Duclair scored a goal on four shots and added two PIM in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Duclair snapped a seven-game goal drought when he brought the Islanders back within one in the third period, but they still fell short. The 29-year-old winger is still struggling to get back into a rhythm after missing a large chunk of the first half of the season due to a lower-body injury. He's at five goals, nine points, 37 shots on net and a minus-9 rating over 27 appearances in his first campaign with the Islanders.

Duclair (illness) is available Sunday versus Florida, according to Stefen Rosner of NHL.com.

EDGE Analysis

Duclair missed one game due to the illness. Mathew Barzal (undisclosed) isn't available Sunday, so Duclair is projected to take his spot on the top line alongside Anders Lee and Bo Horvat. The 29-year-old Duclair has four goals and eight points in 22 appearances in 2024-25.

Duclair (illness) isn't expected to play against Tampa Bay on Saturday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Duclair missed the morning skate and will sit out at least one game. He has registered four goals, four assists and 29 shots on net through 22 appearances this season. Pierre Engvall will replace Duclair in Saturday's lineup.

Duclair scored a goal in Friday's 3-1 win over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Duclair evened things up for the Isles late in the first period with his fourth goal of 2024-25. It was the first time he found the back of the net since a 6-3 win over the Penguins on Dec. 28. Duclair has cracked the scoresheet in two of his last three games. Still, it's hard to trust him in most fantasy formats because he went eight straight games without earning a point before that, and he occupies a bottom-six role.

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

EDGE Analysis

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 Duclair's long-term absence and a middle-six role, his first season as an Islander hasn't gone well so far. He has seven points, 22 shots on net and a minus-4 rating over 17 appearances.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.
