Matt Duchene scores twice vs former team, lifts Senators over Avalanche

OTTAWA, Ontario — Matt Duchene‘s first game as a father couldn’t have gone much better.

He even got to celebrate among old friends.

Duchene had two goals and an assist against his former club, and the Ottawa Senators beat the Colorado Avalanche 5-2 on Wednesday night.

Duchene had missed the previous three games as his wife Ashley gave birth to the couple’s first son, Beau. It was also his fourth game against the Avalanche since being traded to Ottawa in November 2017. He also scored twice in Denver on Oct.
