Matt Duchene took responsibility for Vancouver Canucks forward Daniel Sedin's game-winning goal on Thursday.

Sedin's goal marked a turning point in Vancouver's 4-1 win against Colorado. "I didn't do a good enough of identifying our coverage and they got a good shot off, had a good screen. It's disappointing. That's the way it's going right now," Duchene said. "We may do that play 10 times in a game and they're hitting skates instead of squeaking through. I take full responsibility for that goal. I don't accept breakdowns like that, especially late in the game like that. It's not good enough on my part." Duchene also scored Colorado's only goal in that contest.

Matt Duchene tallied twice, including the overtime winner, for the Avalanche in a 3-2 victory over San Jose.

Duchene has been leading the way for the Avs on most nights this season, but perhaps the bug win over Chicago on Friday will propel some of his teammates to come along for the ride. Ryan O'Reilly also scored his second goal of the season in the victory.

Matt Duchene scored in the Avalanche's 3-2 loss to the Blackhawks on Wednesday night.

The 22-year-old has rebounded very nicely from a subpar third year in the NHL. He has eight goals and 12 assists in 21 games. John Mitchell had the other goal, his seventh of the year.
