Stars' Matt Duchene: Six-game, 12-point streak
Rotowire
Duchene had a goal and an assist Saturday in a 4-2 loss to Florida at the NHL Global Series in Finland.
He has a team-best seven tallies this season. Duchene has three consecutive two-point efforts, and he's riding a six-game point streak (six goals, six assists). The 33-year-old forward is off to perhaps his best-ever start while leading the Stars in scoring by a wide margin. Logan Stankoven sits second with 10. Duchene's 35.0 shooting percentage suggests his goal-scoring will cool eventually. Fantasy managers may want to check the trade market for him to sell high on his tremendous start.

Rotowire
Duchene recorded two goals, including one in the power play, in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Blackhawks. The second goal was an empty-netter with 18 seconds left in the third period.
Duchene has been on a tear in recent games, notching five goals over his last four appearances while recording three multi-point games in that span. The 33-year-old veteran should continue to find plenty of opportunities to produce as a top-six forward in one of the best offensive units in the Western Conference.

Stars' Matt Duchene: Sets up opening goal Saturday
Rotowire
Duchene notched an assist in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Islanders.
The Stars found the back of the net once in each period, and Duchene's assist on Tyler Seguin's game-opening goal gave the former helpers in back-to-back contests to open the 2024-25 campaign. Duchene finished the 2023-24 season with 65 points across 80 regular-season contests and is expected to center the second line in 2024-25, often skating alongside Seguin and Mason Marchment.

Stars' Matt Duchene: Offers power-play assist
Rotowire
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.
Duchene signed a one-year, $3 million contract with the Stars on Monday.
Duchene had 25 goals and 65 points in 80 regular-season appearances with Dallas in 2023-24. Given how well he did last year, the fact that he agreed to an identical deal to the one-year, $3 million contract he signed last year is surprising, but great news for Dallas. Duchene should continue to put up strong numbers while serving in a middle-six capacity.
Duchene scored the game-winning goal in Friday's 2-1 double-overtime win over the Avalanche in Game 6.
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.

Stars' Matt Duchene: Adds helper
Rotowire
Duchene logged an assist in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Avalanche in Game 5.
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.

Stars' Matt Duchene: Garners assist in win
Rotowire
Duchene notched an assist, three hits and two PIM in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Avalanche in Game 3.
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 linemate Tyler Seguin scoring twice and looking more like himself in Saturday's victory following a late-season injury, Duchene's offense could get a boost.

Stars' Matt Duchene: Helps out on power play
Rotowire
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.
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.
