Duchene notched a power-play assist in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Predators.
Duchene set up the first of Mason Marchment's two goals in the game. That duo, along with linemate Tyler Seguin, often found success in bunches last year while playing on the second line. They began 2024-25 together as well, which is good news for Duchene's production. He put up 65 points in 80 regular-season contests last season and should push for similar numbers despite being limited to the second power-play unit this year.
