Gabriel Landeskog, the captain of the Colorado Avalanche, is set to return to the team after completing a successful two-game minor league rehab assignment with the Colorado Eagles. The 32-year-old forward has been sidelined for the past two seasons due to a knee injury that required two surgeries. His return is eagerly anticipated by fans and teammates, as he has not played in the NHL since winning the Stanley Cup in 2022.
Landeskog’s potential activation for this weekend’s Game 1 of the Avalanche’s first-round playoff series against the Dallas Stars comes as a major boost for the team, which is navigating a tough path through the Western Conference. His leadership and skill on the ice are expected to greatly benefit the Avalanche as they aim to make a deep run in the postseason.
The team announced on Tuesday that Landeskog’s conditioning loan to the AHL has been terminated, signaling that he is ready to rejoin the Avalanche roster. Fans can look forward to seeing the veteran forward back in action and contributing to his team’s quest for playoff success.
