Matt Duchene News
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.
