More than once Thursday morning, Anthony Duclair described his condition as \u201dgood enough to play\u201d \u2014 and nearly a full month after his return from a suspected groin injury, it served to confirm what anyone watching can see.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Duclair, the Islanders\u2019 marquee July 1 signing, is not himself. <\/p>\n
He\u2019s not skating with the power or speed typical to his game, and he\u2019s not playing with the sort of impact the Isles need from him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Thursday\u2019s game against the Flyers was the second in a row in which Patrick Roy had him on the third line, which the head coach said was about trying to give him a little less responsibility in the hopes that he can recover some rhythm.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s tough,\u201d Duclair said before the Isles lost, 5-3, to the Flyers. \u201cIt\u2019s tough. Trying my best, but the game\u2019s based on speed. The way I skate is a lot of power, obviously using a lot of my legs. With my injury, it was tough to come back. Still feeling it. I\u2019m not using it as an excuse at all. I think I just need to play better.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Needless to say, this isn\u2019t how anyone figured the first of a four-year deal for Duclair would go on Long Island. <\/p>\n
The Islanders can\u2019t plead ignorance on Duclair\u2019s injury history, but he\u2019s generally remained a productive goal scorer despite that.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So far this year, he\u2019s put the puck in the net three times in 15 games, with no points at all in eight straight after Thursday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Duclair wouldn\u2019t directly answer whether he\u2019s still playing through pain right now, only repeating that he\u2019s feeling good enough to play, but that was an admission unto itself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI had that conversation with him about being a little stronger on the wall and his compete level,\u201d Roy said. \u201cBe more cautious of the puck management and the entry and stuff like this. Make it more simple.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Roy said he thought the referees handled Max Tsyplakov\u2019s hit on Ryan Poehling early in Thursday\u2019s game correctly by initially giving Tsyplakov a major penalty, then reversing the call upon review.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI understand John [Tortorella] to be mad about seeing his player being hurt, but at the same time, I agree with the call on the ice,\u201d Roy said. \u201cI saw the exact same thing as the referees.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ilya Sorokin returned to the Islanders\u2019 crease Thursday after missing the past two games with an illness. <\/p>\n
Jean-Gabriel Pageau, who was out Tuesday night with an illness, was also back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alexander Romanov (upper body) was a full-contact participant in Thursday morning\u2019s skate, but missed the game and remained day-to-day. <\/p>\n
Simon Holmstrom (upper body) skated with the team in an orange non-contact jersey for the first time since getting hurt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
