Colorado center Matt Duchene was on the ice for the first time since sustaining a head injury Friday; he took part in the morning skate but wore a non-contact jersey. Duchene will miss his second consecutive game. "We'll see what tomorrow brings, but we're taking it day by day right now," coach Jared Bednar said. "Hopefully he starts feeling good this afternoon and then we'll progress him again tomorrow and we might be able to see him in some contact." Goalie Semyon Varlamov will start after stopping 44 of 45 shots Sunday in the Avalanche's 2-0 home loss to the Boston Bruins. Colorado will shuffle its lines in an attempt to generate more offense; the Avalanche have eight goals in their past seven games, and one was an own goal by the Winnipeg Jets. Joe Colborne, who hasn't scored since a hat trick in the season opener against the Dallas Stars on Oct. 15, will move to the top line with left wing Gabriel Landeskog and center Nathan MacKinnon. "We need him to start producing," Bednar said of Colborne. Jarome Iginla, who has two goals in 14 games, will skate with left wing Blake Comeau and center John Mitchell. "We need to do what's right for our team," Bednar said. "I think he can help that line produce. We need some production throughout our lineup, it can't just be our top guys. We need to find some secondary scoring, some primary scoring, really, at this point. We have to find something that works, we can't just leave it the way it is."
