Last season, Duehr was a regular on the fourth line, but he's faced challenges getting into the lineup this season due to a slow start in 2023-24. The 26-year-old has recorded four points, 12 shots on net, and 25 hits in 19 appearances so far.
While he stepped in for Jonathan Huberdeau (illness) in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime victory against the Coyotes, Duehr's opportunity for more consistent playing time might hinge on displacing either Dillon Dube or A.J. Greer.
