Duclair will be out indefinitely after having surgery on an achilles tendon injury suffered while training.

Duclair, who set new career-highs in goals (31), assists (27) and points (58) during the 2022 season is expected to be out for the first-half of the 2022-23 season after undergoing surgery to repair an Achilles tendon injury. His injury could open the door for someone like Grigori Denisenko to make the Panthers out of training camp.
