Moves to long-term injured reserve The Stars placed Duchene (lower body) on long-term injured reserve Thursday, retroactive to Sept. 29.

Impact Duchene landed on injured reserve Wednesday and is now facing a lengthier absence to begin the regular season. The 35-year-old has been dealing with a lower-body injury since the start of training camp, and he recently experienced a setback in his recovery process that is set to sideline him until at least late October. Colin Blackwell and Arttu Hyry were recalled from AHL Texas to provide additional depth in Duchene's absence.

Lands on injured reserve Duchene (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, Sam Nestler of DLLS Sports reports.

Impact Duchene was labeled doubtful for the Stars' season opener Friday, and this move suggests he will not play in that game. The 35-year-old is battling an injury that has bothered him since the start of training camp, and he recently suffered a setback in his recovery process. The Stars are likely to utilize seven defensemen in Duchene's absence, as they have no extra forwards on the roster.

Isn't expected to play Friday Duchene (lower body) is doubtful to play Friday versus St. Louis, per Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News.

Impact Duchene also dealt with the same injury during training camp, and he recently suffered a setback in his recovery. The Stars are planning to dress 11 forwards and seven defensemen Friday due to the expectation that Duchene will miss the game. Kyle Capobianco, who might have otherwise been a healthy scratch, is now projected to play against the Blues.

Won't suit up in preseason finale Duchene will not play in Friday's preseason finale against the Wild, Stars TV host Brien Rea reports.

Impact Duchene continues to deal with an undisclosed injury that has limited his ability to get on the ice during camp. While it sounds like the veteran center will start practicing soon, at this point, fantasy players may want to consider him questionable for the season opener versus St. Louis on Oct. 2.

SEPTEMBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Remains sidelined at camp Duchene (undisclosed) wasn't seen skating at Stars' training camp on Tuesday, per Robert Tiffin of NHL.com.

Impact After reports noted that Duchene was originally supposed to miss the first few days of camp, his absence has now extended beyond the team's first two preseason games. The 35-year-old center missed a chunk of time with an upper-body injury during the 2025-26 season, where he posted 16 goals, 45 points and 89 shots on net across 57 regular-season outings. According to Mike Heika of the Stars' official site, head coach Glen Gulutzan stated that Duchene's absence is for maintenance purposes. His status will be monitored closely in the coming days with the Stars' opening night set for Oct. 2 against the St. Louis Blues.

APRIL 27 • NHL.COM

Two-point effort Saturday Duchene produced two power-play assists Saturday in the Stars' 3-2 overtime loss to the Wild in Game 4 of their first-round series.

Impact The veteran center helped set up tallies by Jason Robertson early in the first period and Miro Heiskanen late in the second, but the Dallas offense couldn't find any more offense. Duchene has reeled off three straight multi-point performances and five of his seven points during that stretch, including both his goals, have come with the man advantage. He'll look to stay hot in Game 5 on Tuesday.

Rattles off three points Duchene scored a power-play goal on two shots and added two assists in Wednesday's 4-3 double-overtime win over the Wild in Game 3.

Impact Duchene's first assist also came on the power play.

Prior to this postseason, Duchene recorded 37 points over 69 playoff contests across eight other runs. The center had a challenging regular season with 45 points over 57 appearances, but he's brought his best against the Wild so far.
