Duchene scored the game-winning goal in Friday's 2-1 double-overtime win over the Avalanche in Game 6.
EDGE Analysis
Duchene was called for goaltender interference on a potential game-winner in the first overtime. That didn't dissuade him from sticking near the net, and he converted 11:42 into the second extra session after the puck popped loose from a scrum in front of the net. Through 13 playoff contests, Duchene has two goals, six points, 18 shots on net, 16 hits, 13 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating. He is filling in on a line with Jason Robertson and Joe Pavelski while Roope Hintz (upper body) recovers from an upper-body injury.

Duchene logged an assist in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Avalanche in Game 5.
EDGE Analysis
Duchene has managed three helpers over five games in the second round, but his goal drought is up to seven contests. The 33-year-old center got the bump up to the top line, replacing Roope Hintz (upper body) in that spot as head coach Pete DeBoer elected to keep Wyatt Johnston alongside Jamie Benn. Duchene has a modest five points with 14 shots on net, 14 hits, 12 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 12 playoff outings.

Duchene notched an assist, three hits and two PIM in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Avalanche in Game 3.
EDGE Analysis
Duchene has gone five games without a goal. Through 10 playoff contests, he has one tally, three assists, 13 shots on net, 11 hits, eight blocked shots and a plus-1 rating. With Tyler Seguin scoring twice and looking a bit more like himself, it's possible Duchene's offense could soon follow if he's able to regain chemistry with his linemate.

Duchene recorded a power-play assist, three shots on goal and four blocked shots in Monday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights in Game 4.
EDGE Analysis
The helper was Duchene's first point in four playoff outings. The center has added seven shots on net over the last two games, showing more promise flanked by Jamie Benn and Logan Stankoven following the Stars' lineup shuffle for Game 3. Duchene had 65 points, 172 shots on net and a plus-15 rating over 80 regular-season appearances, so getting his offense going could help the Stars build on their momentum late in this first-round series versus Vegas.

Duchene notched an assist and three shots on goal in Wednesday's 2-1 shootout win over the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Duchene's offense faltered over the final quarter of the campaign, as he managed nine points across the final 20 contests. The 33-year-old had been consistent earlier in the year, but he clearly felt the impact of Tyler Seguin missing time with a lower-body injury. Duchene concludes the regular season with 25 goals, 65 points, 172 shots on net, 48 blocked shots and a plus-15 rating over 80 appearances in a second-line role.

Duchene scored a goal on three shots and added a power-play assist in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Duchene got the Stars on the board late in the first period and also set up a Tyler Seguin marker in the second. This outing snapped a five-game slump for Duchene, who hasn't fully regained his scoring touch since Seguin returned from a lower-body injury. Duchene has still enjoyed a strong campaign with 25 goals, 64 points, 165 shots on net and a plus-16 rating through 76 appearances in a second-line role.

Duchene found the back of the net and added two helpers in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Duchene scored an empty-net goal with 1:30 left in the game to seal the win for the Stars. He also added two assists, three shots on net, a blocked shot and a plus-3 rating in 15:43 of ice time. The 33-year old center had not produced a mutli-point game since Feb. 17. With only six points in the month of March, it is hard to start Duchene as fantasy managers head into the playoffs.

Duchene notched an assist in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Duchene has just three helpers over eight games in March. The good news is Tyler Seguin returned Wednesday, giving Duchene his preferred right wing for the first time in a month. Those two, along with Mason Marchment, were a force for a large chunk of the season and should be able to drive offense with the Stars competing for the top of the Central Division. Duchene is at 59 points, 149 shots on net, 41 blocked shots and a plus-14 rating through 68 appearances.

Duchene notched a power-play assist and five shots on goal in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Duchene set up a Wyatt Johnston tally in the third period. The helper was Duchene's second in as many games, perhaps a sign that he's emerging from the slump that limited him to one goal over eight contests. The 33-year-old center has 58 points, 140 shots on net, 40 blocked shots and a plus-14 rating over 64 appearances in a second-line role this season.

Duchene posted a power-play assist and four shots on goal in Friday's 6-2 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Duchene entered Friday with just one goal over his last eight games. The 33-year-old has slumped without Tyler Seguin (lower body) in the lineup, as the Stars have relied on their first and third lines more than the second line Duchene centers. Despite the slump, Duchene has a still-impressive 57 points (14 on the power play), 135 shots on net, 40 blocked shots and a plus-14 rating through 63 appearances this season.
