Per Blueshirt Banter, citing Jeremy Filosa, Anthony Duclair has made the opening night roster for the Rangers, and it will be confirmed tomorrow. Duclair played in five of the six Ranger preseason games, putting up three goals and two assists while holding his own without the puck. Duclair shot 30% during these five games, so that scoring rate will likely come down some, but the kid is more than just goals. His speed gave all three of his opponents (Chicago twice, Philly twice, New Jersey) fits.

If the report is true, the Rangers will need to get rid of a contract before opening night. If none of the three on waivers are claimed, a trade will need to be made.
