"Anthony Duclair didn't just respond to being scratched - he authored one of the most statistically outrageous nights in modern New York Islanders history. In the Islanders' 9-0 demolition of the New Jersey Devils, Duclair was everywhere, doing everything, and then some. Three goals. Five points. A plus-six rating. Read that again: plus-six. In the post-dynasty era - from 1984 through 2025 - no Islanders player had ever finished a game at +6. Not once. Until Tuesday night."
"According to Isles statistician Eric Hornick, Duclair is now the only active NHL player to have recorded multiple +6 games in his career. The first came on Jan. 14, 2022, when he did it with Florida against Dallas. The second? This one. In an Islanders sweater. Against a division rival. After being a healthy scratch two nights earlier. That's as unlikely as it feels unreal."
Anthony Duclair scored three goals and added two assists in the New York Islanders' 9-0 win over the New Jersey Devils, finishing with five points and a plus-six rating. No Islanders player had recorded a +6 game in the post-dynasty era from 1984 through 2025. Duclair became the only active NHL player with multiple +6 games, the first occurring on Jan. 14, 2022, with Florida. Duclair produced the hat trick immediately after being a healthy scratch two nights earlier, joining Mike Bossy and Bryan Trottier in that rare achievement and providing a major momentum boost for his season.
