Gabriel Landeskog Stands Out In Thursday's Victory
6 years agoColorado Avalanche left-winger Gabriel Landeskog scored a goal and added an assist in his team's 5-2 victory against the Florida Panthers on Thursday. The team captain also finished the contest with a plus-three rating, two penalty minutes, three shots and a block in 19 minutes and 55 seconds of ice time. Landeskog has become the perfect fit on the Avalanche top line (with Nathan MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen), bringing a physical element that complements the NHL's top-two leading scorers. The 26-year-old is off to a blazing start with 33 points (17 goals, 16 assists) through his first 29 games and provides even more fantasy value based off his top-tier peripheral coverage (11 power-play points, plus-21 rating, 82 shots, 35 hits). Fantasy owners will want to slot him back into lineups ahead of Saturday's match up with the Tampa Bay Lightning.
