Hossa scored for the first time in 14 games, and added another late in the second period for his 493rd career goal.
Marian Hossa turns 37 on Tuesday. "I was hoping I’d still score as a 36-year-old. It’s been a while." #Blackhawks

Toews went top shelf to give the Blackhawks a 5-2 lead before the second intermission, and also added a pair of assists.
Avalanche forward Matt Duchene scored twice in a span of less than four minutes for his 20th and 21st tallies of the campaign.
The Blackhawks improved to 27-13-4, and moved to within four points of the idle Dallas Stars, who occupy top spot in the Central Division.
Chicago snapped Colorado's three-game win streak, and won for the eighth time in the last 10 contests.
