Islanders' Anthony Duclair Out 4-6 Weeks with Lower-Body Injury

The forward's absence poses challenges for the team's scoring as they consider roster adjustments.

Anthony Duclair sustained a lower-body injury during the Islanders' win over the Montreal Canadiens.
The injury occurred in the third period, and Duclair was unable to put weight on his right leg afterward.
Duclair, who signed a four-year, $14 million contract with the Islanders in July, has two goals and one assist this season.
The team has not yet decided if Duclair will be moved to long-term injured reserve, which would impact roster management.
With Duclair out, the Islanders face potential scoring difficulties, having only 12 healthy forwards available.
