Analysis:
Though a repeat move to the press box would seem to foretell a demotion back to juniors for Duclair, coach Alain Vigneault said such a move wouldn't occur this week. Because Duclair isn't eligible to return to the Rangers this season once he's sent back to juniors, expect the team to wait a little longer on a decision than they did with fellow youngsters J.T. Miller and Jesper Fast, who were both AHL eligible. Even so, Duclair's chances of reemerging as a lineup regular this season are growing slim.
