Duchene signed a four-year, $18 million contract extension with Dallas on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Duchene was outstanding last season, registering 30 goals and 52 assists, his second-best regular season in his NHL career. The 34-year-old had 27 points on the power play as well as 152 shots on goal. Duchene struggled during the playoffs with only one goal, five assists and a minus-16 rating across 18 postseason appearances.

Duchene scored a power-play goal and went minus-2 in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Oilers in Game 1.

EDGE Analysis

The third-period tally ended a 17-game goal drought for Duchene, dating back to April 10. His goal Wednesday also stood as the game-winner. The center has earned all six of his points this postseason on the power play while adding 18 shots on net, 11 hits, 12 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating over 14 appearances. Duchene was a point-per-game player in the regular season, so the Stars will want Wednesday's effort to spark his offense in the Western Conference Finals.

Duchene notched a power-play assist in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Jets in Game 4.

EDGE Analysis

Duchene had the secondary helper on Mikael Granlund's hat-trick-clinching tally in the third period. The 34-year-old Duchene has earned two assists over four games in the second round. He's at five helpers this postseason, all of which have come on the power play. The center has added 14 shots on net, nine hits, nine blocked shots and a minus-8 rating over 11 playoff contests.

EDGE Analysis

Duchene still has yet to score this postseason, but all four of his assists in the playoffs have come over the last four games. The 34-year-old looks to be heating up, especially with the man advantage, which is where he's earned all four helpers. Duchene has added 11 shots on net, six blocked shots and a minus-7 rating over eight playoff outings.

Duchene notched two assists, two shots on goal, two blocked shots and two PIM in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Avalanche in Game 7.

EDGE Analysis

Duchene set up back-to-back power-play goals that flipped a 2-1 deficit into a 3-2 lead for the Stars. Other than this performance, it was a quiet first round for Duchene and the Stars' second line, which will need to change if they've got a deep run in mind. The 34-year-old was limited to three assists, 10 shots on net, four hits, six blocked shots and a minus-6 rating over seven contests versus the Avalanche.

Duchene notched a power-play assist in Monday's 6-2 win over the Avalanche in Game 5.

EDGE Analysis

Duchene set up Wyatt Johnston's second goal of the contest at 16:48 of the second period. After a 30-goal, 82-point effort over 82 regular-season games, Duchene has been quiet in the playoffs -- this was his first point in five postseason games. He's added eight shots on net, four hits, three blocked shots and a minus-3 rating against the Avalanche. The Stars have mostly succeeded on thin margins so far, but getting Duchene's offense going would help them advance to the second round.

Duchene logged an assist in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Duchene snapped a three-game point drought with the helper on Mason Marchment's first-period tally. That little skid at the end of the season didn't stop Duchene from finishing at a point-per-game pace for the second time in his career. Both instances have been within the last four seasons. Duchene concludes the regular season with 30 goals, 52 assists, 152 shots on net and a plus-13 rating over all 82 contests. He'll be a key top-six forward in the playoffs, where the Stars are set to face his original NHL team, the Avalanche, in the first round.

Duchene scored a power-play goal on three shots and added an assist in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Duchene's second-period tally got him to the 30-goal and 80-point marks for the season, and he added an assist on Mikael Granlund's empty-netter before the Stars' last-minute collapse. The 34-year-old Duchene has reached the 80-point mark for the second time in his career, both of which have come in the last four years. He's earned 27 of his 81 points on the power play while adding 149 shots on net and a plus-17 rating across 78 appearances.

Duchene picked up two assists in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran center had a hand in the Stars' first two tallies of the night, including Mason Marchment's game-winner just 39 seconds into the third period. Duchene has gotten onto the scoresheet in nine of the last 10 games, amassing four goals and 11 points over that span, and he sits one goal short of his fourth career 30-goal campaign, and three points shy of reaching 80 for the second time.

Duchene scored a goal and registered five shots in Monday's 3-1 win over the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

Duchene has found the back of the net in three of his last five outings, and the veteran playmaker continues to have an excellent season as one of Dallas' primary offensive weapons. He notched 15 points (five goals, 10 assists) in 15 games in March, and while he might not record a new career high in points, there's no question this has been an excellent bounce-back season for the veteran. His 75 points in 74 games are the second-most points he's racked up in his career.
