The Colorado Avalanche announced Sunday that team captain Gabriel Landeskog will be sidelined week-to-week due to a lower body injury.
The setback comes after Landeskog had just returned to action following a 14-game absence caused by an upper body injury that kept him out before the Olympics. Since coming back to the ice, the veteran forward had contributed seven points with two goals and five assists across six contests.
The 33-year-old has endured a challenging injury history, missing three complete seasons due to knee problems that required multiple surgical procedures, including cartilage replacement surgery. His comeback culminated when he took the ice against the Dallas Stars during Game 3 of the Western Conference first-round playoff series in 2025.
Through 47 games this season, Landeskog has recorded 29 points on nine goals and 20 assists for Colorado.
