Duchene logged an assist in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to the Predators.
Duchene snapped a three-game point drought with the helper on Mason Marchment's first-period tally. That little skid at the end of the season didn't stop Duchene from finishing at a point-per-game pace for the second time in his career. Both instances have been within the last four seasons. Duchene concludes the regular season with 30 goals, 52 assists, 152 shots on net and a plus-13 rating over all 82 contests. He'll be a key top-six forward in the playoffs, where the Stars are set to face his original NHL team, the Avalanche, in the first round.

Rotowire

Stars' Matt Duchene: Scores goal, takes five shots
Rotowire
Duchene scored a goal and registered five shots in Monday's 3-1 win over the Kraken.
Duchene has found the back of the net in three of his last five outings, and the veteran playmaker continues to have an excellent season as one of Dallas' primary offensive weapons. He notched 15 points (five goals, 10 assists) in 15 games in March, and while he might not record a new career high in points, there's no question this has been an excellent bounce-back season for the veteran. His 75 points in 74 games are the second-most points he's racked up in his career.

Stars' Matt Duchene: Finds twine Sunday
Rotowire
Duchene scored a goal and tallied three shots on goal in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Avalanche.
Duchene's tally late in the third period was not only the second of two goals in a 20-second span but would also hold as the tying goal to send the game to overtime. The 34-year-old center is up to 26 goals, 67 points and 122 shots on net across 66 games this season. Duchene has been excellent since early February with eight goals and 18 points in his last 13 games. He has been a steady source of offense all season long and is a large part as to why Dallas' top nine is one of the league's best. Duchene has already passed his point total from last season and has a legitimate chance to reach the 80-point mark for the second time in his 16-year career. He is a must-start in fantasy for the playoffs.

Rotowire
Duchene notched a power-play assist in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Oilers.
Duchene was a part of the Stars' failed comeback push, setting up a Mikko Rantanen tally in the third period. With the arrival of Rantanen, Duchene was initially bumped down to the second power-play unit, though Roope Hintz's upper-body injury opened the door for Duchene to at least temporarily rejoin the first unit. With four points over four outings in March, Duchene's offense remains strong, though it may take a slight hit if the Stars begin to lean on their new top line more. The 34-year-old center is at 25 goals, 39 helpers, 23 power-play points, 114 shots on net and a plus-9 rating through 63 appearances this season.
