Matt Duchene played just 5:12 at even strength and 7:21 overall in Thursday's 3-2 loss at Phoenix. He was minus-2 and didn't appear to suffer an injury.
Sounds like Duchene was benched for his lack of production. This punishment could go one of two ways with fantasy owners praying it sparks his offensive game.
