Barrie was recalled because Ryan Wilson (back) was placed on injured reserve, retroactive to November 6. Barrie had three points (all assists) in five games with Lake Erie after being sent down earlier this month.
Duchene suffered the injury in the third period of Saturday's game with Florida. Oblique injuries can be serious, so a one-week prognosis constitutes good news for the Avs. "We will hope it's not more than that, but (Duchene) said he would need about a week," Patrick Roy said. Duchene has been the Avs' best player this season and a strong candidate to make the Canadian Olympic team in Sochi. Nathan MacKinnon is likely to move to center on a top-six line, though that won't be confirmed until Monday.
Lehtonen allowed three goals on 28 shots in a win over the Flames on Thursday. He is 2-0 with a 1.50 GAA and .940 SV% so far on their western Canadian road trip. He takes on Roberto Luongo and the Canucks tonight.
Holtby allowed three goals on 37 shots in a shootout win over the Red Wings on Friday. He has won four of his last five starts with a 2.70 GAA and .919 SV%. Holtby has a tough matchup vs. the Blues tonight.

Hossa did not play on Saturday and will miss his second consecutive game tonight. The injury is not believed to be serious and he is expected to play on Tuesday vs. Colorado. Recently acquired Kris Versteeg will skate on the top line in Hossa's absence.
Crawford allowed five goals on 22 shots after coming in for an injured Nikolai Khabibulin on Saturday. It was an ugly night for the Blackhawks and Crawford. He will be in tough again tonight against the Sharks.
Green will miss his second straight game tonight, but is eligible to return on Wednesday against the Penguins. With Green on IR, the Capitals have recalled Dmitry Orlov.
After signing with the Oilers last weekend, Bryzgalov went to Oklahoma City for two starts. He went 1-1-0 with a 3.03 GAA and .880 SV%. With the Oilers struggling, Bryz is a risky fantasy netminder, but if he can find his game he could solidify the Oilers goaltending trouble. He could make his Oilers debut on Tuesday vs. Columbus.
Berra gave up three goals on 23 shots in Saturday's loss to the Oilers. It was his fifth consecutive loss, since starting his NHL career with a big win over the Blackhawks. Last week he lost all three starts while posting a 4.04 GAA and .867 SV%. Berra is a tough start on a weak Flames squad.
Dumba was scratched in six of the past seven games. Prosser has played well, but the Wild needs to give a 19-year-old a chance to play or it’ll need to eventually make the decision if it needs to return him to Red Deer despite already hitting that 10-game mark to trigger the first of his three-year deal.
Jeffrey, who is listed at 6-1, 205 pounds, is a left shot and plays both center and wing. The versatile, two-way forward has played ten games with the Penguins this season, registering one assist. The 25-year-old Jeffrey, a sixth-round pick of Pittsburgh in 2007, has played 100 NHL games, registering 28 points (15 goals, 13 assists). “Dustin is a player our scouts have liked over the last couple years,” said Stars GM Jim Nill. “He’s a young player that we think has some room to develop even more. We just think he has a chance to add some depth to our organization. You can never have enough depth.”
Nikolai Khabibulin has played poorly this season and was injured on Saturday. Raanta, 24, is 7-5-0 with a 2.83 GAA and .914 SV% in 14 appearances for Rockford this season. It is his first season in North America, he spent 2007-13 playing in the SM-liiga.
Holtby allowed three goals on 37 shots in a shootout win over the Red Wings on Friday. He has won four of his last five starts with a 2.70 GAA and .919 SV%. Holtby has a tough matchup vs. the Blues tonight.
Magnus Paajarvi will play in Berglund's spot. Consider him day-to-day and questionable for Tuesday vs. Buffalo.
Harding gave up two goals on 24 shots in a win over the Panthers on Friday. It was his third consecutive win and his 11th of the season. He continues to play exceptionally well and has a solid matchup with the Jets in town.
Pavelec stopped 32 of 34 shots in a win over the Flyers on Friday. He has won four consecutive starts while only allowing eight goals with a .947 SV%. He will face a Wild team who has won six of their last seven.
Lehtonen allowed three goals on 28 shots in a win over the Flames on Thursday. He is 2-0 with a 1.50 GAA and .940 SV% so far on their western Canadian road trip. He takes on Roberto Luongo and the Canucks tonight.
Niemi stopped 34 of 35 shots in a big win over the Canucks on Thursday. It was a nice bounce back for Niemi who lost five straight heading into Thursday. He faces a tough Blackhawks team on the road tonight.
Ryan was injured on a vicious hit from Dennis Seidenberg on Friday vs. Boston. Ryan said yesterday that his shoulders, back and neck were a little sore but he was not dealing with a concussion. Ryan appears to be fine, so get his 10 goals and 20 points in your lineup.
