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.

Duchene (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of the week and will miss the Avs' next two games on Thursday and Saturday, Mike Chambers of The Denver Postreports.
EDGE Analysis
Duchene (knee) will miss Thursday's game against the Flyers and Saturday's game against the Wild as it appears that his knee injury has been slightly more serious than previously thought. This is not the news fantasy owners were hoping for as Duchene has been quite reliable, posting 29 goals and 27 assists in 71 games this season. Head Coach Patrick Roy stated that Duchene will be reevaluated on Sunday before the Avs hit the road for a back-to-back against the Predators and Blues on Monday and Tuesday.

Duchene (knee) will sit out of Sunday's contest against the Oilers, the Mike Arcuri of the Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Duchene's considered day-to-day with the ailment, but the All-Star will skip his second straight contest Sunday. Fortunately, the Avalanche will regain the services of captain Gabriel Landeskog to alleviate some of the loss, but that doesn't provide much solace for fantasy owners losing out on production from a player who's tallied 56 points (29 goals, 27 assists) through 71 games this season. Considering that he's listed as day-to-day, it's plausible his return could come as soon as the team's next game Thursday against the Flyers, but the Avalanche should update his status again before the game.

Duchene will miss Friday's game against the Flames with a knee injury and is considered day-to-day with the issue.
EDGE Analysis
The Avs failed to elaborate on the extent of Duchene's injury, but the day-to-day suggests hopefully won't cost him too much time. The injury leaves the Avalanche shorthanded in the forward ranks, and will likely result in the team running with 11 forwards and seven defensemen for Friday's contest, with Chris Bigras set to return. Duchene's next chance to play comes Saturday against the Oilers, but expect another update before the contest.

Duchene scored a power-play goal and added an assist in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Duchene has now impacted the box score in three straight games, including five of the last six. In that span, the 25-year-old has three goals and four assists, with two of those markers coming on the man advantage. The 2009 first-round pick has put together another solid campaign, matching last season's output of 55 points in 12 fewer appearances.

Duchene scored a power-play goal while adding an assist in Monday's 3-1 win against the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
The goal was Duchene's 28th and seventh on the man advantage this season. Since a blistering January, Duchene has cooled off significantly, scoring just five goals with 10 points over 16 games in February and March combined.

Duchene assisted on two goals in Wednesday's 3-2 win over Montreal.
EDGE Analysis
Dutchy grabbed the secondary helpers on Jarome Iginla's game-tying and game-winning goals -- one of which came on the power play. The 25-year-old is now up to 46 points in 60 games and although he won't reach his career high of 70 set in 2013-14, he shoudn't have any issue eclipsing last year's 55-point output. It's also worth noting that his 165 shots on goal have him on pace for 226 this season, which would surpass his previous best of 217.

Duchene notched his 25th goal of the season Friday against the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Duchene goal scoring has cooled down a bit in recent weeks, but his 25 goals is already the second highest total in his career, and he's almost guaranteed to break his career-high of 27 goals in a season.

Duchene recorded a goal and an assist, but finished with a minus-1 rating in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Duchene has 42 points in 52 games, but Colorado's middling performance as a team has limited him to a minus-2 rating this season. The 25-year-old has a good chance of topping the 30-goal mark for the first time in his career, as his prominent first-line role should allow him to keep up his strong scoring pace for the remainder of the 2015-16 campaign.

Duchene scored a pair of goals and assisted on another in Sunday's loss to the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
It was a bad night for the Avs overall, as they got doubled up by Chicago 6-3, but Duchene was a silver lining as he factored into all three goals. The 24-year-old has produced six points in the last four games and eclipsed the 20-goal barrier for the fifth time in his career.
