December 1, 2015 – Matt Duchene named NHL’s third star for November

NHL: San Jose Sharks at Colorado Avalanche

After a slow start to his season, Matt Duchene had one of the best goal-scoring months in Colorado Avalanche history. His 11 goals in November tied a franchise record for goals in that month and threatened the overall franchise record set back in 1981. With nine assists, he became the first Avs player since 2010 to earn 20 points in a single month. Perhaps most impressive was that Colorado played 10 of their 15 games on the road that month, including seven in a row. The effort earned him the NHL’s third star of the month for November.
