Has he though?
Duchene's "off days", which we've seen him go through a number of times, are bad. He gets tunnel-vision, tries to do everything himself, spin-moves into turnovers, doesn't use his linemates, etc.
We haven't seen that this season though. Even his slump in October had him generating chance alike crazy and setting his linemates up. Same thing happened in his late season slump last year. If he had anybody other than Mitchell and Iggy on his line he would have been one of the leagues best players from February on.
The team was shooting at like a less than 1% while Duchene was on the ice in October. Duchene hasn't had one of those "tunnel" vision slumps since Nov/Dec of last season (where he was absolutely atrocious lol).
So yes he has absolutely gotten better there.
