4-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning<\/a>. <\/p>\n\u201cHe\u2019s lucky to be in the lineup. Sorry if I lose it on him right now, but that\u2019s how I feel,\u201d Roy said. \u201cHe\u2019s not skating, he\u2019s not competing, he\u2019s not moving his feet. He\u2019s not playing up to what we expect from him.\u201d<\/p>\n
The 29-year-old Duclair was limited to 12:15 of ice time, including playing just four shifts in the third period against the Lightning.<\/p>\n
Duclair is on his ninth team in 11 NHL seasons after signing a four-year $14 million contract with New York in July. He\u2019s struggled in managing seven goals and four assists in 44 games this season, including two goals in his past 17 outings.<\/p>\n
The Islanders, 0-4-2 in their past six, are sliding further out of the playoff race and entered Thursday 12th in the Eastern Conference standings, five points behind eighth-place Montreal. They have eight games left, and next host Minnesota on Friday.<\/p>\n
