Duclair Sits Out Sunday's Action

Anthony Duclair misses Sunday's game with an upper-body issue that's got the Islanders holding their breath ahead of a packed schedule. After a bounce-back campaign where he clawed his way to 26 points despite last year's groin nightmare, this setback tests his hard-earned momentum on the top line. With Patrick Roy eyeing every minute of ice time carefully, the stakes rise as New York pushes for Metro supremacy and the playoffs loom large.
