Avalanche's Matt Duchene: Could play Thursday

Duchene (concussion) has a chance to play Thursday night against the Stars.

Analysis:

Duchene left last Friday's game with concussion-like symptoms, but reportedly passed a baseline test and then turned in a full practice Wednesday. While it appears that Duchene is poised to make a quick recovery, his fantasy owners will want to verify that he's able to take warm-ups ahead of the Avs' next contest.
