WATCH: Matt Duchene mimics Patrick Kane's iconic celebration after scoring double-OT series winner for Stars

In Game 6 between the Dallas Stars and the Colorado Avalanche, forward Matt Duchene was in the limelight for all the right reasons. Duchene's jubilation following his game-winning goal drew everyone's attention.

Duchene replicated Kane's signature heartbreaker celebration, drawing quite a reaction. Channeling his inner Patrick Kane, he skated towards the midline to perform the celebration.

NHL insider Charlie Roumeliotis captured the moment in a video post on X (formerly Twitter):

Duchene's crucial goal in the second overtime sealed a hard-earned win for the Stars. It's the second year in a row they're heading to the Western Conference final.

The game had its share of drama early on, with Mason Marchment appearing to score what could have been the Stars' game-winner in the opening extra session.

However, the goal was disallowed due to goalie interference by Duchene, who made contact with Colorado goaltender Alexandar Georgiev immediately before the puck crossed the line.

But Duchene didn't let that setback deter him. He seized the moment in the second overtime, picking up a loose puck.

Matt Duchene's nostalgic look back on his time with the Avalanche

Dallas Stars forward Matt Duchene, once a player for the Colorado Avalanche, secured the Game 6 win in double overtime, propelling his team to the Western Conference Final.

Matt Duchene played nine seasons with the Avalanche before joining the Ottawa Senators in 2017–18. Despite beating his old team, Duchene handled it with grace. He acknowledged the difficulty of leaving the team and shared mixed emotions about their subsequent success.

"You know what. I have a lot of fond memories of being an Av. They were my favorite team growing up, and it was an absolute honor to be here. It was one of the hardest things I ever had to do to kind of ask out. " Duchene said (via NHL on TNT)

"We were kind of at a crossroads, and they turned it around really quick, and I was really happy for them when they won,"

Duchene conveyed appreciation for his time with the Avalanche, emphasizing the significance of the place to him and his connections to Colorado.

"It was tough at the same time. It was a little bittersweet, for sure. They swept us in the first round and went on to win. That's tough. Maybe wonder, had I stayed, if you know, I would have won," he added.

Despite the past difficulties, Matt Duchene's admiration for his former club was a good gesture. Now playing for the Stars, he wants to help them win their first Stanley Cup since 1999.
