Duchene notched an assist and three shots on goal in Wednesday's 2-1 shootout win over the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Duchene's offense faltered over the final quarter of the campaign, as he managed nine points across the final 20 contests. The 33-year-old had been consistent earlier in the year, but he clearly felt the impact of Tyler Seguin missing time with a lower-body injury. Duchene concludes the regular season with 25 goals, 65 points, 172 shots on net, 48 blocked shots and a plus-15 rating over 80 appearances in a second-line role.

Duchene scored a goal on three shots and added a power-play assist in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Duchene got the Stars on the board late in the first period and also set up a Tyler Seguin marker in the second. This outing snapped a five-game slump for Duchene, who hasn't fully regained his scoring touch since Seguin returned from a lower-body injury. Duchene has still enjoyed a strong campaign with 25 goals, 64 points, 165 shots on net and a plus-16 rating through 76 appearances in a second-line role.

Duchene found the back of the net and added two helpers in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Duchene scored an empty-net goal with 1:30 left in the game to seal the win for the Stars. He also added two assists, three shots on net, a blocked shot and a plus-3 rating in 15:43 of ice time. The 33-year old center had not produced a mutli-point game since Feb. 17. With only six points in the month of March, it is hard to start Duchene as fantasy managers head into the playoffs.

Duchene notched an assist in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Duchene has just three helpers over eight games in March. The good news is Tyler Seguin returned Wednesday, giving Duchene his preferred right wing for the first time in a month. Those two, along with Mason Marchment, were a force for a large chunk of the season and should be able to drive offense with the Stars competing for the top of the Central Division. Duchene is at 59 points, 149 shots on net, 41 blocked shots and a plus-14 rating through 68 appearances.

Duchene notched a power-play assist and five shots on goal in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Duchene set up a Wyatt Johnston tally in the third period. The helper was Duchene's second in as many games, perhaps a sign that he's emerging from the slump that limited him to one goal over eight contests. The 33-year-old center has 58 points, 140 shots on net, 40 blocked shots and a plus-14 rating over 64 appearances in a second-line role this season.

Duchene posted a power-play assist and four shots on goal in Friday's 6-2 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Duchene entered Friday with just one goal over his last eight games. The 33-year-old has slumped without Tyler Seguin (lower body) in the lineup, as the Stars have relied on their first and third lines more than the second line Duchene centers. Despite the slump, Duchene has a still-impressive 57 points (14 on the power play), 135 shots on net, 40 blocked shots and a plus-14 rating through 63 appearances this season.

Duchene scored a power-play goal in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Duchene had gone three games without a point entering Monday, his longest drought since late December. The goal was the 33-year-old's 800th career point, a mark he achieved in his 1,034th game. This season has been a resurgent one for Duchene, who is up to 23 tallies, 56 points, 120 shots on net and a plus-16 rating through 58 appearances. He's virtually mirroring his scoring production from last year with a quarter of the campaign to go, though it'll be interesting to see how Duchene adapts while Tyler Seguin (lower body) is out.

Duchene (lower body) is projected to play Tuesday versus the Rangers, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Duchene was a very late scratch for Monday's matinee game in Boston, but it appears he will be able to play Tuesday. The 33-year-old center will return to his usual spot between Tyler Seguin and Mason Marchment on the second line, while Logan Stankoven will have to wait for his NHL debut. Duchene has 22 goals and 55 points over 54 appearances this season, putting him a point shy of matching his output from 71 contests in 2022-23.

Duchene (lower body) is on track to be a game-time decision for Tuesday's matchup with the Rangers, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Duchene was a last-minute scratch for Monday's game versus the Bruins and remains iffy ahead of Tuesday's contest. If Duchene's unable to go, Logan Stankoven will likely draw into the lineup and make his NHL debut versus New York.

Duchene (lower body) won't play Monday versus Boston.
EDGE Analysis
Dallas doesn't have an extra forward or defenseman on the roster, so the team will be forced to play a man short because of Duchene's last-minute absence. He has racked up 22 goals and 55 points in 54 games this season.
