Panthers forward Anthony Duclair suffered an Achilles tendon injury earlier this offseason, according to Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic.
Duclair reportedly sustained the injury during an offseason training session and met with doctors this week to discuss the possibility of surgery, per Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman. His exact timeline of return is unclear, the expectation is that Duclair will miss significant time recovering from the injury.
Duclair, 26, suited up for the Panthers for the second consecutive season and scored a career-high 31 goals and 58 points in 74 games with the team.
