Why Islanders Placed Gauthier On Waivers & What That May Mean For The Injured Duclair
On Saturday night, at the 3:19 mark of the third period, New York Islanders forward Anthony Duclair suffered an apparent right leg injury.
On Sunday, an off-day for the team after their 4-3 nine-round shootout victory over the Montreal Canadiens, the Islanders placed forward Julien Gauthier on waivers.
Let's start with the positive news.
Duclair missing any amount of time isn't a positive, but Gauthier's placement on waivers likely means that the top-line forward will not be heading to the Long-Term Injured Reserve.

Varlamov's Resiliency Paves Way In Islanders Shootout Win
ELMONT, NY -- New York Islanders netminder Semyon Varlamov was not pleased after Cole Caufield's 3-3 tying goal with 2:10 to play in regulation:

Islanders Spearhead Wildly Successful Activation In Girls Ice Hockey On Long Island
Growing up on Long Island, girls had few opportunities to play ice hockey with and against one another.
Things have changed for the better.
With the help of the New York Islanders, girls are being given a chance to try the game, learn the game, master the game, and be voices for growing the game, like we saw at The Park, outside of UBS Arena, this past weekend.
On hand helping out was former Islanders forward Arron Asham (2002-07).
“The game is just growing and growing,” Asham said. “The Islanders are really pushing these programs to grow the game for girls. There are so many more opportunities now to get involved in hockey at a young age, the more girls we can get out on the ice, the better.”
Over 220 girls took part in the weekend festivities with the hope that over 1,100 girls will get involved over the course of the season, which would be double the participation we saw a year ago.
