A Gabriel Landeskog return has not been ruled out yet
TSN: Colorado Avalanche forward Gabriel Landeskog has been skating regularly in Denver as he work his way back from major knee surgery. He hasn’t played since 2022. Chris Johnston adds:
“But it hasn’t been ruled out, I would say, that Landeskog will not be back. The Avalanche are obviously going to do right by him, they have a long-term investment in him, but it’s certainly something to keep an eye on here as we get into the playoffs and Colorado looks at bolstering its lineup.”
