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

Impact Duchene made his season debut Dec. 7 but needed five games to record his first two points of the season. 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 the lineup. Right now, though, his upside won't be very high in a bottom-six role in the lineup.

Officially deemed day-to-day Duchene (upper body) is considered day-to-day but won't be ready to play versus New Jersey on Wednesday, Owen Newkirk of DLLS Sports reports.

Impact Duchene has been on the shelf since Oct. 18 versus the Blues due to his upper-body issue, a stretch of 22 games on injured reserve. Once given the all-clear, the veteran center could be shifted to the wing to try to cover for Tyler Seguin (knee), who is expected to be out long term.

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

Impact Duchene has already missed 15 games due to his upper-body injury, so he can be activated off long-term injured reserve at any point. 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 bottom-six role but could move up the lineup if he shifts to the wing.
