This Season Performance
Matt Duchene is not at Avalanche practice today. I’ll have whatever update the team has on him afterward, but obviously it’s not a great sign. I’ll stick to my prediction of last night’s blog on him though: another couple weeks.
It's been nearly four weeks since Duchene went down. Before getting hurt, he scored 12 goals and 24 points in 39 games. Expect him to return some time in mid-to-late February.
Duchene out at least four weeks with right knee injury
Bad news for Duchene, who will miss all of January at the very least. Knee injuries can be tricky so Duchene may not come back at 100 percent right away. Tough to expect more than one more good month out of him this season.
Duchene still undergoing tests. Results not til later. Sorry
Doesn't sound great for the former 3rd overall pick. Check back for a further update from the team.
Matt Duchene knee injury, won't return
Duchene was limited to less than three minutes of ice time in the Avs 3-2 win. Check back for a further update on his status.
Young Avalanche forwards Matt Duchene and Gabriel Landeskog missed practice Sunday but both are expected to play in Monday's game against the Dallas Stars at the Pepsi Center.
Sounds like Duchy is nursing a minor illness and should be fine for tomorrow's game. He currently leads the team in goals with nine and points with 17. Start him with confidence tomorrow.
Line Change
Duchene is back at left wing on a line with Stastny and Milan Hejduk, a unit that saw success recently.
Duchy moves back up to the top line. He leads the team in goals (9) and points (16).
Line Change
The Avalanche's young center, demoted to the fourth line for Saturday's game against Chicago, skated with new linemates at practice this morning — Chuck Kobasew and Joakim Lindstrom.
Through his first eight games, the former second overall pick scored a goal and four points. Look for him to bounce back from his demotion.

Duchene will start the game on the fourth line. Expect a few line changes as the game goes on.
