Matt Duchene out for Avs' game at Calgary, Chris Bigras will play

CALGARY, Alberta — Avalanche coach Patrick Roy said that star forward Matt Duchene will miss Friday night's game at Calgary after injuring his knee Wednesday at Vancouver.

"Status is going to be day-to-day," Roy said. "He hurt his knee last game, and we hope he will be able to recover pretty fast."

Meanwhile, Roy said that defenseman Chris Bigras, who has been out with a concussion suffered March 5 against Nashville, will play Friday night. Forward Gabe Landeskog will return Sunday at Edmonton after serving a three-game suspension for a reckless crosscheck on Anaheim defenseman Simon Despres.
