New York Islanders forward Anthony Duclair suffered a lower-body injury that will keep him out long term but not for the season.
Islanders general manager Lou Lamoriello made the announcement Monday, adding that more will be known Tuesday after further testing.
Duclair, 29, was injured in the third period of Saturday’s 4-3 win over the visiting Montreal Canadiens. Driving to Montreal’s net, despite minimal contact from Habs defenseman Jayden Struble, Duclair fell to the ground in obvious pain and had to be helped off the ice. He had one shot on goal in 15:07 of ice time before the injury.
Duclair signed a four-year contract worth $14 million with the Islanders in the offseason. The Isles are his ninth team in 11 years.
The Pointe-Claire, Quebec, native has three points (two goals, one assist) in five games.
Duclair has 306 points (148 goals, 158 assists) in 568 career games.
