Percentiles are based on a three-year weighted average of Fantasy Hockey Standard League Scoring Settings. Percentiles represent the players rank among his respective position.

Duchene missed the last four games with an upper-body injury but is set to play Wednesday in Washington. Duchene will likely play on the top line with Mikael Granlund and Filip Forsberg and comes in with 25 points (13G / 12A) in 26 games this season.



Duchene has been sidelined by a lower-body injury since March 4th but is set to return to the lineup on Saturday. It's unclear where Duchene will slot back into the lineup but he comes back in with just three goals and five assists (eight points) in 23 games.

Duchene left Thursday's game prematurely and the Predators announced that he'll miss at least three weeks with a lower-body injury. With Duchene out, Ryan Johansen will move into the Predators' top-6 on Saturday.




Duchene missed Saturday's game in Tampa Bay but will be back on the Predators' second-line on Tuesday. Duchene has had a strong start to his Predators career, posting 11 points (2G / 9A) in 10 games.


Duchene was forced to leave Thursday's game vs. the Wild with a lower-body injury and did not return. However, he was on the ice for the Predators morning skate and is expected to play in Tampa Bay. Duchene has 11 points (2G / 9A) in 10 games this season.


Duchene is expected to walk across the hall and make his Blue Jackets debut tonight in Ottawa. It remains to be seen where Duchene will slot into the lineup, but the second line seems like the most reasonable spot. Despite playing for a mostly poor Senators team, Duchene is on-pace to set a new career-high in goals (39) and points (84). The 2019 first-round pick is lottery protected and the Senators will only receive the 2020 pick if Duchene re-signs in Columbus.


Duchene missed the last three games to be with his wife for the birth of their baby but is ready to play Wednesday vs. his former team. Duchene is expected to skate with Bobby Ryan and Ryan Dzingel and enters play with 18 goals and 24 assists (42 points) in 37 games.

Duchene and his wife are awaiting the arrival of their first child, so Duchene stayed home and is expected to miss all three games on their California road trip. Darren Archibald was called up to serve as the extra forward with Duchene out.

Duchene has missed the last six games with a lower-body injury but will play Friday vs. the Devils. Duchene has had an outstanding season to date, picking up 12 goals and 22 assists (34 points) in 29 games before getting injured.

Duchene was on the ice for the Senators morning skate but will not return to the lineup on Monday. The Senators are hopeful that Duchene will be back for their back-to-back on Friday/Saturday.

Duchene was forced to leave Thursday’s game with a groin injury and was placed on IR on Friday. Senators GM Pierre Dorion announced that Duchene will miss multiple weeks, which will force both Colin White and Chris Tierney into bigger roles.
