Sens' Duchene makes young fan's night with big pre-game thumbs up
by from on (#3FEZZ)
Matt Duchene has a fan for life.
Prior to Thursday's game against the Nashville Predators, Duchene was grabbing a drink on the bench when a young fan across the ice caught his eye.
The fan was holding a sign that read "I want to be just like you Duchene!" and the Ottawa Senators center responded with a big thumbs up, which clearly meant a lot.

The gesture came on a night when Kyle Turris returned to Ottawa, a player for whom Duchene was traded earlier this season and who was celebrated with a tribute and ovation during the first period.
