Even if this does happen it's going to be pretty funny when Duchene comes back. "Hey guys we managed to finally figure out how to contain that pesky Stastny line so now all we have to do is oh FML they have another elite scoring machine." Among my favourite quotes of the season, and I can't remember who said it, was "Nathan Mackinnon is like the skilled version of Matt Duchene. Which is scary, because Matt Duchene is also the skilled version of Matt Duchene."
I still think they'll get roasted in the second round but it's turning out that CHI/STL is the bloodbath we all thought it might be, so who knows, maybe injuries level that playing field.
