Islanders get Duclair on 4-year pact

The New York Islanders signed forward Anthony Duclair to a four-year contract, the club announced Monday.

It's worth $3.5 million per season, reports Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.

Duclair excelled down the stretch for the Tampa Bay Lightning this past season, racking up eight goals and seven assists over 17 games in the regular season before adding two helpers in five playoff contests.

The Bolts acquired him from the San Jose Sharks on March 7. Duclair, who'll turn 29 on August 26, posted 16 tallies and 11 helpers over 56 games with the Sharks in 2023-24.

Duclair is notoriously streaky, but he set career highs with 31 goals and 27 assists over 71 contests with the Florida Panthers in 2021-22.

He's played for eight previous teams in his 10-year career.
