Duchene scored a power-play goal in Friday's 3-2 win over St. Louis.

EDGE Analysis

Duchene leveled the game at two scores apiece just under eight minutes into the second period. With the power-play tally, he is up to five goals, 12 points, 38 shots on net and 11 blocks through 27 games this season. His goal Friday snapped a four-game streak without a point and a five-game run without a goal. Due to the upper-body injury that kept him out of the lineup for a month and a half near the start of the campaign, the 35-year-old center will likely take a large step back compared to the point-per-game season he enjoyed a year ago. However, Duchene remains in a strong spot to post numbers inside the Stars' top six, giving him decent fantasy value in standard formats moving forward.

EDGE Analysis

Duchene's goal at 19:42 of the third period provided some extra security late in the contest for the Stars. He's earned two goals and three helpers over six outings in January after being limited to three points across 11 games in December. The 34-year-old center is up to 10 points, 28 shots on net and a minus-2 rating through 21 outings in a season that's been disrupted by a long-term upper-body injury.

EDGE Analysis

The 34-year-old helped set up Sam Steel for what proved to be the game-winner early in the second period, giving Duchene his 900th career point. He's had an injury-plagued start to his 17th NHL season, but he's looking healthy and productive to begin the new year, producing a goal and four points in the first four games of January.

Duchene scored a goal on four shots and added an assist in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Duchene has two goals and three assists over his last five outings. The 34-year-old forward is still working on consistency after losing a larger chunk of the campaign to an upper-body injury. He's produced seven points, 20 shots on net, nine blocked shots and a minus-2 rating across 16 appearances so far while mainly featuring in the middle six.

EDGE Analysis

Duchene returned to the lineup Dec. 7 following a 24-game absence due to an upper-body injury, and this was his first time on the scoresheet since Oct. 14. The 34-year-old veteran was one of the best players for the Stars last season, and he should find ample opportunities to produce as he works his way back into top form. Right now, though, his upside won't be very high in a bottom-six role in the lineup.

EDGE Analysis

Following a 24-game absence, Duchene is poised to return to the lineup against Pittsburgh on Sunday. He has produced one goal, two points, three shots on net, four blocked shots and two hits in four appearances this season.

Duchene (upper body) remains day-to-day, and it's still unclear when he will be ready to return to the lineup, Owen Newkirk of DLLS Sports reports Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Duchene has been out since Oct. 18 versus the Blues, a stretch of 22 games on the shelf, and he's been day-to-day for just about all of it. He still needs to string together "good days" before he returns to the lineup. Once given the all-clear, the veteran center could shift to the wing to try to cover for Tyler Seguin (knee), who is facing an extended absence.

Duchene (upper body) will join the Stars for their four-game road trip, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Duchene has already missed 15 games due to his upper-body injury. He can come off long-term injured reserve at any point, but it remains unclear when he will be ready to return. Given his extended layoff, the 34-year-old center may be in danger of missing the 20-goal threshold for the first time since 2020-21. Once cleared to play, Duchene will likely slot into a middle-six role.

Duchene (upper body) was placed on long-term injured reserve Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Despite being considered day-to-day, Duchene has missed the last 14 games. It's unclear when he will be available to return to the lineup. His move to LTIR could lead to the activation of Jamie Benn (upper body), who hasn't played yet this season after undergoing surgery for a collapsed lung in late September. Duchene has registered one goal, one assist, three shots on net, four blocked shots and two hits in four appearances this season.

Duchene (upper body) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Flyers, Owen Newkirk of DLLS Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Duchene will miss his 14th straight game. He has played only four times this season, garnering a goal and an assist. The 34-year-old has been day-to-day for four weeks and will try to return to the lineup Tuesday, when the Stars are home to the Islanders.
