Avalanche’s Duchene: ‘Make a play every now and then’

Feb 7, 2013, 2:30 AM EDT

Matt Duchene of the Colorado Avalanche sounded off on his team’s lack of scoring, following a 3-0 loss to the Anaheim Ducks Wednesday.

The Avalanche, with two wins in their last seven games, have been shutout three times now this season. The Avalanche outshot the Ducks 31-20 but couldn’t solve goalie Viktor Fasth, who recorded his first NHL shutout.

“We have to figure out a way to score, that’s the bottom line,” Duchene added to the NHL.com. “I mean, getting shut out three times in 10 games is unacceptable.”
