Duchene picked up a minor undisclosed injury, according to Team Canada coach Mike Babcock, but will be available for Saturday's matchup with Team Czech Republic, Chris Johnston of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Duchene is poised to put together a fourth consecutive 50-point or better season, with this ailment unlikely to derail him. The 25-year-old's fantasy value is further increased by his contributions on the power play, where he notched 15 points last season while averaging 2:48 in ice time with the man advantage. Barring any setbacks, the center will likely shake off whatever is ailing him for the World Cup and be set to go for the 2016-17 campaign.
