Coming close to three years ago since he was absent, Colorado Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog could come back and play for the NHL. He missed matches because of a serious knee injury. The team now added him to the roster just in time for Game 2 of their playoffs versus the Dallas Stars . His return is a milestone moment for the team, and the fans get curious to see him where he is supposed to be again on the ice.
Colorado Avalanche captain returns to lineup after knee surgery
Gabriel Landeskog's last match was in 2022 when his team captured the Stanley Cup. Ever since he injured his right knee, he was unable to play. It hurt so badly that he needed to get a very rare surgery known as a cartilage transplant in May 2023. A surgery like this is very rare, especially for hockey players.
Even though the injury was bad, Gabriel Landeskog did not give up and never lost hope. He worked hard to get back. Lately, he has played two games for the Avalanche's AHL affiliate, the Colorado Eagles. Those two games yielded a goal and an assist from him. That is proof he is getting some conditioning done and might be close to playing again in the NHL.
Landeskog’s return gives Avalanche a boost as they face Stars in playoffs
The Colorado Avalanche are playing the Dallas Stars in the playoffs. They won Game 1 and now are getting ready for Game 2. The team needs some extra help because one of their players, Ross Colton, got hurt in the first game. Even though the coach hasn't stated definitively whether Gabriel Landeskog will play in Game 2, it is great news that he is officially back on the team.
The coach did say, “We're still monitoring the recovery from the practice. … We'll let the doctors and Matthew tell us where he's at and we'll go from there.”
Gabriel Landeskog is not just a powerful player, but he is also the team captain. Landeskog, a former All-Star and key playoff performer, brings more than skill; he brings belief. After a long recovery, his presence lifts the Avalanche’s spirit. If his form returns, he could be a game-changer. Analysts predict his comeback might spark one of the season’s most emotional and inspiring NHL stories.
