Gabriel Landeskog Shines With Three-Point Night In Game 3
7 years agoColorado Avalanche left winger Gabriel Landeskog scored a goal and added two primary helpers in a crucial Game 3 win on Monday night. Landeskog displayed excellent vision in setting up both goals scored by Nathan MacKinnon, giving the Avalanche a 3-0 and then 4-0 lead in the second period. The 25-year-old's goal, an empty-netter, simply capped off his strong performance and solidified his team's victory. With five points in three playoff games thus far, Landeskog continues to build off a stellar comeback campaign in which he posted 25 goals and 37 assists in 78 regular season games. The Avalanche will look to their captain for more offensive production as the team looks to even up the series against Nashville on Wednesday.

Gabriel Landeskog Remains Without A Timeline
4 months agoColorado Avalanche forward Gabriel Landeskog (knee) remains without a timeline for his return. The Avalanche captain hasn't played since the 2022 Stanley Cup Finals. He was expected to return to action in 2024-25, but with nearly a quarter of the campaign gone, it is still unclear when Landeskog will be ready to lace up his skates again. Injuries have decimated the Avalanche attack this season, but hope is around the corner. Jonathan Drouin (upper body) and Miles Wood (upper body) each could be ready to return on Friday against Washington. At the same time, Avalanche head coach Jared Bednar has confirmed that Valeri Nichushkin (suspension) will be back in the lineup for Friday's game.

Gabriel Landeskog Expected To Return Near Start Of Season
7 months agoColorado Avalanche forward Gabriel Landeskog (knee) is expected to make his long-awaited return to action early next season. "He's trying to make a return here sometime near the start of the season and if that goes well, it would be a really big boost for us," Avalanche coach Jared Bednar said Saturday. "So, that's something we're all a little anxious about, but really excited about as well. He hasn't played for us in two years." Landeskog last saw action in the 2022 Stanley Cup Final, helping Colorado defeat the Tampa Bay Lightning 4-2. The Avalanche captain was a point-per-game player before running into health issues and should still produce at a high level once he finds his feet following the lengthy absence.

Avalanche Hope To Get Gabriel Landeskog Back For Playoffs
2 years agoColorado Avalanche left wing Gabriel Landeskog (knee) will miss the 2023-24 regular season, but the team hopes to get him back for the playoffs. "We're hoping," Avalanche general manager Chris MacFarland told The Athletic's Pierre LeBrun when asked about Landeskog possibly returning for the playoffs. "There's still so much that needs to be gleaned in this, so it's hard to put a timeline on it." The Avalanche captain has had multiple knee surgeries in recent years and already sat out the 2022-23 campaign. With Landeskog missing, Artturi Lehkonen saw a boost in playing time last season, and Jonathan Drouin could be the big beneficiary this time around as he's set to be reunited with junior teammate Nathan MacKinnon on Colorado's top line.

Gabriel Landeskog Ruled Out For Entire 2023-24 NHL Season
2 years agoColorado Avalanche left wing Gabriel Landeskog (knee) will miss the entire 2023-24 NHL season as he will undergo a cartilage transplant in his right knee on May 10, the team announced on Tuesday. It is an unfortunate situation for Landeskog, who missed the entire 2022-23 season due to a knee injury that he suffered last season on the way to the Avalanche becoming the Stanley Cup champions. Landeskog had arthroscopic knee surgery in October and was expected to miss 12 weeks at the start the campaign, but the recovery did not go as planned and he was later ruled out for the remainder of the regular season and playoffs. Landeskog has six years remaining on the eight-year, $56 million deal that he signed prior to the 2021-22 season, and the captain will be placed on long-term injured reserve to allow the Avalanche to make free agent additions this summer.
