• Predators' Matt Duchene: Sends assist in loss

  05/10/2022 •

  Duchene notched an assist and blocked two shots in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Avalanche in Game 4. Duchene was fairly productive despite the Predators exiting the playoffs in a four-game sweep. The 31-year-old had three goals, one assist, eight shots on net, nine hits and a plus-1 rating. Expectations will be high for the forward after a 43-goal, 86-point regular season, though his 18.9 shooting percentage suggests fantasy managers should expect a fair amount of regression in 2022-23.

The 31-year-old now has points in nine straight outings (seven goals, six assists). He posted 43 goals and 86 points, both career highs, in 78 regular-season contests as a top-line option, though the Predators will need to get their depth going to have any chance in this series.
