Duchene notched a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Duchene has seen his role shift a few times in March due to trades and injuries, but he's remained as consistent as ever. The center has four goals and 10 assists, including four power-play helpers, over 14 outings this month. For the season, the 34-year-old is up to 28 goals, 46 helpers, 25 power-play points, 139 shots on net and a plus-14 rating across 73 contests. Duchene has played on one-year, $3 million contracts with Dallas in each of the last two years, though it wouldn't be shocking if he got a raise this summer, either from the Stars or another team.

Duchene finished with a goal and an assist in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Duchene has been remarkably consistent for the Stars, and he's finding ways to make an impact even when he's not scoring. The 34-year-old veteran, who's having an excellent season and has already notched the second-best point tally of his 16-year career, has cracked the scoresheet in all but three games since the beginning of March, tallying 13 points (four goals, nine helpers) in 13 games over that span.

Duchene scored a goal in Monday's 3-0 win over the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Duchene's 27th goal of the campaign gave the Stars a 2-0 lead just 58 seconds after Wyatt Johnston's opener. Duchene has been outstanding in recent weeks, and while this goal snapped a three-game goalless drought, it also extended his point streak to five contests. Furthermore, Duchene has cracked the scoresheet in all but two of his appearances this month, tallying three goals and eight assists in 11 March contests.

Duchene scored a goal and tallied three shots on goal in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Duchene's tally late in the third period was not only the second of two goals in a 20-second span but would also hold as the tying goal to send the game to overtime. The 34-year-old center is up to 26 goals, 67 points and 122 shots on net across 66 games this season. Duchene has been excellent since early February with eight goals and 18 points in his last 13 games. He has been a steady source of offense all season long and is a large part as to why Dallas' top nine is one of the league's best. Duchene has already passed his point total from last season and has a legitimate chance to reach the 80-point mark for the second time in his 16-year career. He is a must-start in fantasy for the playoffs.

Duchene notched two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Duchene helped out on goals by Mikael Granlund and Jason Robertson as the Stars pulled away with the win. With six points over five games in March, Duchene remains a strong source of offense from a second-line role. He crossed the 40-assist mark Sunday for the fifth time in his career and third time in four years. Duchene has 66 points (23 on the power play), 116 shots on net and a plus-11 rating through 64 contests overall, and he'll remain on the top power-play unit as long as Roope Hintz (face) is out of the lineup.

Duchene notched a power-play assist in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Duchene was a part of the Stars' failed comeback push, setting up a Mikko Rantanen tally in the third period. With the arrival of Rantanen, Duchene was initially bumped down to the second power-play unit, though Roope Hintz's upper-body injury opened the door for Duchene to at least temporarily rejoin the first unit. With four points over four outings in March, Duchene's offense remains strong, though it may take a slight hit if the Stars begin to lean on their new top line more. The 34-year-old center is at 25 goals, 39 helpers, 23 power-play points, 114 shots on net and a plus-9 rating through 63 appearances this season.

Duchene logged an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Duchene has four points over his last four contests. His helper came late Thursday as the secondary assist on Jason Robertson's tally 4:17 into overtime. The Stars' offense has been clicking lately -- this was the first time since Feb. 4 they scored under four goals. Over his last nine outings, Duchene is responsible for seven goals and seven assists, including six power-play points. The center is up to 25 goals, 38 helpers, 114 shots on net and a plus-10 rating through 62 appearances.

Duchene scored a goal on two shots and added a power-play assist in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Duchene tallied at 13:28 of the first period and also set up the second of Wyatt Johnston's three goals in the contest. This was Duchene's fifth multi-point effort over the last seven games, a span in which he has seven goals and six assists, including six power-play points. For the season, he's up to 62 points (22 on the power play), 112 shots on net and a plus-10 rating through 60 appearances. Duchene's top-six role has allowed him to elevate his performance compared to the previous two campaigns, making him a strong source of offense in fantasy.

Duchene scored a power-play goal on two shots in Friday's 6-2 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Duchene bounced back after the end of his four-game multi-point streak Tuesday versus the Blue Jackets. The Stars took the lead with his first-period power-play marker, and they never looked back. Duchene is up to 24 goals on the season, one back of his 80-game total from the 2023-24 regular season. He's also reached the 60-point mark while adding 110 shots on net and a plus-10 rating over 59 appearances. At his current pace, Duchene is on track to reach the 80-point mark for the second time in his career.

Duchene registered two power-play assists and two shots on goal in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Duchene has picked up right where he left off before the 4 Nations Face-Off -- this was his fourth multi-point effort in a row. He helped out on two of Jason Robertson's three goals in Sunday's win. Duchene has five goals and five assists during his current streak and is up to 23 goals, 36 helpers, 20 power-play points, 107 shots on net and a plus-12 rating over 57 appearances this season. He's finished above a point-per-game pace just once in his career in 2021-22 with the Predators, but he fits well in his role with the Stars and could maintain his current pace despite a lofty 21.5 shooting percentage.
