He did provide 49 points in 68 games in 2017-18, but the Senators spiralled to 30th place. This season, while announcing a rebuild, the Senators fell to last place overall, although Duchene was extremely productive, better than a point-per game player with 27 goals and 58 points in 50 games with Ottawa.
