Duchene scored a goal in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
Coming off a 43-goal campaign, Duchene has yet to recapture his scoring touch. Maybe Saturday's third-period goal will help spark Duchene and the rest of Nashville's struggling top six. Duchene has registered four points in seven games, but he's posted a minus-5 rating during his past five outings. The 31-year-old forward notched the Predators' lone marker Saturday for his first goal since the season opener Oct. 7.

Duchene posted an assist, four shots on goal and four PIM in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Duchene helped out on Filip Forsberg's second-period tally. The 31-year-old Duchene is up to one goal, two assists, 14 shots, 16 PIM and a minus-1 rating through five contests this season. The uptick in PIM can be attributed to tempers boiling over Saturday in Dallas -- he's usually a mild-mannered player. He's noticeably behind the pace he set when racking up 86 points in 78 contests last year, though that was to be expected. Duchene remains a solid fantasy option as long as he's in a top-line role.

Duchene scored an empty-net goal on five shots in Friday's 4-1 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Duchene finished off a productive season opener for the Predators with his empty-netter. The 31-year-old is coming off of his most impressive season in 2021-22, when he scored 43 goals and added 43 assists in 78 contests. He also shot a career-high 18.9 percent, a figure that's likely to regress this year. Fantasy managers should therefore have cautious approach with Duchene, but he's already off to a good start and should retain a hefty role on the power play throughout the campaign.

Duchene notched an assist and blocked two shots in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Avalanche in Game 4.
EDGE Analysis
Duchene was fairly productive despite the Predators exiting the playoffs in a four-game sweep. The 31-year-old had three goals, one assist, eight shots on net, nine hits and a plus-1 rating. Expectations will be high for the forward after a 43-goal, 86-point regular season, though his 18.9 shooting percentage suggests fantasy managers should expect a fair amount of regression in 2022-23.

Duchene scored a pair of goals on four shots and added two hits in Tuesday's 7-2 loss to the Avalanche in Game 1.
EDGE Analysis
Duchene was the only Predator to solve Darcy Kuemper, though his goals were far too late in the game to make a difference. The 31-year-old now has points in nine straight outings (seven goals, six assists). He posted 43 goals and 86 points, both career highs, in 78 regular-season contests as a top-line option, though the Predators will need to get their depth going to have any chance in this series.

Duchene notched an assist, three shots on goal and four PIM in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis

The 31-year-old had the best season of his career with 43 tallies, 86 points, 228 shots on net and a plus-6 rating in 78 appearances. He'll look to carry his momentum into the playoffs when the Predators open their first-round playoff series versus the Avalanche on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis
Filip Forsberg joined Duchene at the 40-goal mark late in the first period, but the latter retook sole possession of the team lead with his 41st tally halfway through the second. With three goals and three assists in his last five games, Duchene has put together another solid stretch of play. The 31-year-old has 81 points (27 on the power play), 219 shots on net and a plus-3 rating in 75 outings this season.
