Islanders' GM Lou Lamoriello stated that Anthony Duclair's injury will keep him out "more long term than short term," although it is not season-ending.
Duclair's significant role on the Islanders was as a top-line player alongside Mat Barzal and Bo Horvat, but his season has already faced major interruptions.
The waiver of Julien Gauthier was misunderstood; it was not a positive sign for Duclair's recovery, as the team's trust in Gauthier remains low.
With limited cap space, the Islanders are expected to recall a forward from Bridgeport, with Hudson Fasching being a strong candidate for the 12th forward spot.
