Duchene (knee) has been ruled out for the team's next two games Monday and Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The Avalanche continue to slide further out of playoff contention following two straight losses while both Duchene and Nathan MacKinnon (knee) remain sidelined. The team's two stars will sit out the next two contests as well, with Duchene's next chance to return now moved back to Friday against the Capitals. Expect further updates on his status during the week, but the Avs recalled Andrew Agozzino and Nikita Zadorov on Sunday to add forward depth in the meantime.
