Gabriel Landeskog is rejoining the Colorado Avalanche after completing a two-game minor-league rehab assignment with the Colorado Eagles in the American Hockey League. The 32-year-old captain participated in games on Friday and Saturday as part of his recovery from a knee injury that necessitated two surgeries and kept him out of the NHL for the past two seasons since winning the Stanley Cup in June 2022. His potential activation by the end of the regular season could see him return to play in Game 1 of the Avalanche's first-round playoff series against the Dallas Stars, providing a significant boost to the team as they navigate the challenging Western Conference.
