Anthony Duclair

Anthony Duclair (born on August 26, 1995) is a Canadian ice hockey player currently with the Arizona Coyotes of the National Hockey League (NHL).

He was selected by the New York Rangers in the third round (80th overall) of the 2013 NHL Entry Draft.

Junior Playing Career
Anthony spent three seasons with the Quebec Remparts of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL). He scored an impressive 50 goals in 59 games during the 2013–14 QMJHL season.

Anthony was rewarded for his outstanding play being named to the QMJHL First All-Star Team.

New York Rangers
On January 2, 2014, Anthony was signed to a three-year entry-level contract with the New York Rangers. He impressed the Rangers with his performance in the 2014–15 preseason, leading the team with 5 points in 5 games.

On October 6, 2014, defenceman Steven Kampfer and centre Andrew Yogan were traded to the Florida Panthers for forward Joey Crabb, securing an opening-night roster position for Anthony.

On October 27, 2014, he scored his first NHL goal against Darcy Kuemper of the Minnesota Wild.

On January 6, 2015, Anthony was assigned to the Quebec Remparts for the remainder of 2014–15 season. On March 1, 2015, while with the Remparts, he was traded to the Arizona Coyotes along with John Moore and two draft picks, in exchange for Keith Yandle and Chris Summers.

Arizona Coyotes
Arizona Coyotes' GM Don Maloney confirmed fan speculation by stating that he acquired Anthony from the New York Rangers in the hopes that he would develop line chemistry with a rookie they already possessed, Max Domi due to the fact that during the 2015 World Junior Ice Hockey Championship both Duclair and Domi showed visible chemistry and were key components in leading team Canada to gold.

On October 14, 2015, Anthony scored his first career NHL hat trick in a 4-0 shutout against the Anaheim Ducks. Fellow rookie Max Domi pitched in a goal of his own and an assist on one of his goals.

In Anthony's first full season in the NHL, he developed instant line chemistry with fellow rookie Max Domi earning the duo the nickname "The Killer D's."
