Colorado Avalanche head coach Jared Bednar said Wednesday morning that captain Gabriel Landeskog has regressed in his rehabilitation as he continues to recover from a knee injury that kept him out of action over the past two seasons.
Landeskog had knee surgery after leading the Avalanche to the Stanley Cup in 2022. He required a cartilage transplant in May 2023 and Landeskog has not played since Game 6 of the Cup Final. Stanley 2022.
Bednar said it shouldn’t be a surprise, it’s part of the healing process and the team is still hopeful Landeskog will play this season. He added that if anything in training or skating bothers Landeskog, they will back off and let him rest.
Landeskog has skated intermittently since January, but has not participated in regular team practice.
The Swede played 738 career games in the NHL, scoring 248 goals and recording 571 points, all with the Avalanche.
The Avalanche are sixth in the Central Division with a 6-7-0 record.
