Stars' Matt Duchene: Grabs pair of points Thursday
Rotowire
Duchene tallied a goal and registered an assist in Thursday's 7-2 win over the Oilers.
Duchene made his tally a memorable one, as he put Edmonton's Spencer Stastney in a spin cycle before backhanding the Stars' final goal of the game. The tally brought Duchene up to 13 goals, 32 points and 63 shots on net across 40 games this season. Since Jan. 23, the 35-year-old center has nine goals and 21 points over his last 14 games. He should remain heavily involved from Dallas' top six down the stretch of the regular season, giving him strong fantasy value in most league formats for the remainder of the campaign.

Stars' Matt Duchene: Four helpers in win
Rotowire
Duchene notched four assists and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Flames.
Duchene's line with Sam Steel and Jamie Benn was the engine in this win. With eight goals and nine assists over his last 10 outings, Duchene looks to be fully back after an injury earlier in the season led to poor results following his return in December. The veteran center is up to 28 points, 56 shots on net and a plus-2 rating through 36 appearances and should be back in consideration in nearly all fantasy formats.

Stars' Matt Duchene: Records two points Monday
Rotowire
Duchene recorded an even-strength goal and a power-play assist in Monday's 6-1 win over the Canucks.
Duchene has been one of the most consistent scoring weapons for the Stars of late and has cracked the scoresheet in all but one of his last nine games, a stretch in which he's racked up 13 total points (eight goals, five assists). Duchene endured a slow start to the season and also missed time due to an upper-body injury, but he remains productive in his age-35 season. He's up to 24 points (12 goals, 12 assists) in 35 games thus far.

Duchene extended his point streak to six games, a span in which he's earned six goals and three helpers. The 35-year-old was fairly inconsistent prior to this stretch, and he'll look to keep the momentum going after the Olympics.

Stars' Matt Duchene: Nets another goal in win
Rotowire
Duchene scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Mammoth.
Duchene's goal streak is up to four games, a span in which he's tallied five goals. The 35-year-old has helped the Stars to four straight wins, and if his offense is here to stay, that makes a deep team even deeper. He's at nine goals, 16 points, 44 shots on net and a minus-6 rating over 30 appearances this season, but he played at a point-per-game pace in 2024-25 and had no fewer than 56 points in any of his previous four campaigns, so it's no surprise he's getting his offense on track.

Stars' Matt Duchene: Strikes early in shootout win
Rotowire
Duchene scored a goal in Thursday's 5-4 shootout win over the Golden Knights.
Duchene has four goals over the last three games. The 35-year-old looks to be getting some positive regression after struggling to find the net earlier in the season. He's now at eight goals, 15 points, 42 shots on net and a minus-6 rating over 29 appearances in a middle-six role.

Stars' Matt Duchene: Scores pair in win
Rotowire
Duchene scored two goals, including one on the power play, in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Blues.
Duchene has three goals over the last two games. He's earned nine points over 13 contests in January, which has helped him get his scoring pace on track. Duchene has a total of seven goals, 14 points, 41 shots on net and a minus-6 rating through 28 appearances this season. He's in a middle-six role for now, but he would likely move up into a more prominent spot if a key forward became unavailable.

Stars' Matt Duchene: Tallies power-play goal in win
Rotowire
Duchene scored a power-play goal in Friday's 3-2 win over St. Louis.
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.

Stars' Matt Duchene: Fills empty cage
Rotowire
Duchene scored an empty-net goal on two shots in Monday's 3-1 win over the Kings.
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.

Rotowire

Stars' Matt Duchene: Two points in win Monday
Rotowire
Duchene recorded a goal and an assist in Monday's 4-1 win over the Kings.
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.

Stars' Matt Duchene: Remains day-to-day
Rotowire
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.
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.

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

Stars' Matt Duchene: Moves to LTIR
Rotowire
Duchene (upper body) was placed on long-term injured reserve Monday.
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.

Stars' Matt Duchene: Unavailable for Saturday
Rotowire
Duchene (upper body) won't travel with the Stars for Saturday's game in Nashville, per Dallas beat writer Robert Tiffin on Friday.
Duchene hasn't been in the lineup since Oct. 18. He has a goal and an assist in four appearances with the Stars in 2025-26. The Stars are hoping to have Duchene join the team for their upcoming two-game road trip to Canada, which begins Tuesday in Ottawa, so he might be getting close to returning. When Duchene is ready, he'll probably serve in a middle-six capacity and receive power-play ice time.
