Hey there! I just read about Anthony Duclair's injury and the impact it could have on the Islanders. It's always tough to see a player go down, especially when they’re on a roll like Duclair was at the start of the season. The fact that he might only be out for 6-8 weeks is a relief, but it still puts a lot of pressure on the team in the meantime.
I think Simon Holmstrom stepping up to the top line is an interesting move. He’s shown he can be effective in a two-way role, but it’ll be crucial for him to find that chemistry with Barzal and Horvat quickly. The Islanders need to keep their momentum going, and having a solid first line is key to that.
What do you think? Do you believe Holmstrom can fill Duclair's shoes until he returns? And how do you see the Islanders faring in the next few games without him?
