New York Islanders forward Anthony Duclair will be sidelined four-to-six weeks due to a lower-body injury, the team announced Thursday.

Duclair sustained the injury in the third period of the Islanders' 4-3 shootout win over the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday.

Signed to a four-year, $14 million contract on July 1, Duclair has totaled 306 points (148 goals, 158 assists) in 568 career games with nine different teams.

Duclair was selected by the New York Rangers in the third round of the 2013 NHL Draft.
