Lidstrom also had three assists as the Red Wings (23-9-4) scored all their goals with a man advantage.
Duchene and TJ Galiardi gave the Avalanche leads in the first period, but Jiri Hudler and Johan Franzen tied the game as the teams scored four goals in the first 12:32.
Colorado (19-13-4), which has lost three straight all at home, was 1-for-7 on the power play, and has allowed eight goals in its last 16 short-handed situations.
The Avalanche outshot the Red Wings 49-30, and had a season-high 23 shots in the second period.
