Matt Duchene expected to miss one week with oblique injury

Colorado Avalanche forward Matt Duchene is expected to be sidelined for a week due to an oblique injury suffered in Saturday's loss to the Florida Panthers.

"We will hope it's not more than that, but (Duchene) said he would need about a week," head coach Patrick Roy told the Denver Post.

The Avalanche will take a three-game losing streak into Tuesday's game against the defending Stanley Cup champion Chicago Blackhawks, and will follow that up with games against the Los Angeles Kings and Phoenix Coyotes.
