Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun: The Ottawa Senators didn’t want to sit anyone but Matt Duchene is officially out for Thursday’s game.
Renaud Lavoie: The Duchene being scratched means the chances are slim to none that he’ll be signing an extension with the Senators.
Duchene sign and trade?
Shawn Simpson: If Matt Duchene wanted to do a sign and trade it could really help the Senators return – increasing his trade value. This could bring in a team like the New York Islanders.
