Matt Duchene
C/RW DAL
Duchene sniped his 11th goal of the season -- a game-winner -- and added an assist in Saturday's 4-3 win over the visiting Stars. He also fired six shots on goal and skated to a plus-2.
After a disappointing first half of the season, Dutchy now has five points over his last four games and 26 in 42 contests this year. While he'll still fall significantly short of last season's beasty 70-point campaign, there's real potential for the 23-year-old to go off on an extended scoring binge in the second half as the Avs will need all hands on deck to have any shot of getting back in the playoffs. Duchene is one of the quickest, most dynamic -- and dangerous -- snipers in the game, and should not be undervalued as the second half of the season commences.
