Duclair will be a healthy scratch Sunday against the Sharks, Steve Zipay of Newsday reports.

Analysis:

Coach Alain Vigneault said that he just wanted to give the young forward a bit of a reprieve after Duclair had appeared in five games over the previous eight days. Duclair had been holding down a top-line role for the Rangers in the last handful of contests, but those duties will likely fall to Chris Kreider on Sunday.
