Anthony Duclair scores hat trick in Islanders’ historic destruction of Devils

Fuente: New York Post

Anthony Duclair has been an Islander for 17 months, and at times it has felt like much longer for all parties. So long that it is easy now to forget that when they signed Duclair on July 1, 2024, the idea was that Duclair’s speed and scoring ability would form a lethal top line with Mathew Barzal and Bo Horvat. Everything that’s happened since then has been hashed and rehashed plenty: Duclair’s torn groin five games into last season, his attempt to come back that ended up being too soon, coach Patrick Roy ending his year early by laying into his effort in a press conference, Duclair floating between the bottom six and being a healthy scratch for much of this season.
