Matt Duchene is skating again, but the word I’m hearing is he won’t play tonight. I don’t think he’ll play until next week, the first home game back after this trip. But we’ll see about that too.

Duchene continues to progress but likely needs a few more practices before getting back into the lineup. In 39 games before getting hurt, the former 3rd overall pick scored 12 goals and 24 points.

Avs coach Joe Sacco told me Matt Duchene, who again skated by himself today, will not accompany the team to St. Louis, but that he does expect Dutchy to travel with the team during next week’s three-game trip through Canada.

Great news that Duchene continues to progress. Before getting hurt, he scored 12 goals and 24 points in 39 games. He should be able to get back in the lineup this month.

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.

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.

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.
