Colorado Avalanche forward Matt Duchene has been named the NHL third star for the month of November, the league announced on Tuesday.
Duchene had a November to remember as he led all NHL players with 11 goals in the month. His 11 tallies broke the Avalanche record for goals in November (10) set by Claude Lemieux in 1995, and he was the first Colorado player to score 11 times in a single month since Milan Hejduk had 12 in March 2003. Quebec's Marc Tardif holds the franchise record for goals in November with 15 in 1981.
