Duclair is expected to make his Tampa debut on Saturday vs. Philadelphia.

Duclair was acquired on Thursday from San Jose and is expected to make his Lightning debut on Saturday vs. Philadelphia. Duclair finds himself on his sixth NHL team but has been enjoying a solid season despite the weak team around him in San Jose, with 16 goals, 27 points, 28 PIMs and a -12 plus/minus in 56 games before the trade.

Anthony Duclair
The Lightning have acquired Anthony Duclair and a 2025 seventh-round pick from the Sharks for Jack Thompson and a 2024 third-round pick.

Duclair has underwhelmed in his first season as a Shark, but will now get the benefit of playing with a demonstrably better surrounding cast in Tampa Bay. The 28-year-old winger had 16 goals and 11 assists in 56 games with San Jose. He will now return to the state of Florida where he spent the previous three seasons playing with the Panthers.

Duclair (trade-related) is a game-time decision to suit up for San Jose on Thursday.

With the impending trade deadline approaching, Duclair might be held out of the lineup in anticipation of a trade. Duclair has managed to be semi-productive for a low-scoring Sharks team this season, tallying 27 points (16G / 11A) in 56 games.
