It has already been a few years since Gabriel Landeskog has been sidelined in Colorado. The last time we saw the Avalanche captain play a game was when the Avalanche won the Stanley Cup, on June 26, 2022.

And as we just welcomed 2025, it reminds us how long Landeskog has been out of the game.

That said, the captain continues to work hard to try to make a return to the ice. Despite setbacks in his rehabilitation, Landeskog still clings to the hope of coming back…

And today, in Colorado, we witnessed a nice moment at practice as the captain skated with his teammates this morning.

And he didn’t look too beat up…

However, one must be careful with such a situation, because in reality, it doesn’t mean he is getting closer to a return. It mainly seemed like a nice way to test the veteran’s rehabilitation a bit and motivate the rest of the group.

Because Jared Bednar acknowledged it: it feels good for the group to see Landeskog being around the team… but we shouldn’t think he will be back on the ice anytime soon.

It should also be noted that currently, the Avalanche has only $3.9 million of cap space, meaning they cannot activate Landeskog (with a cap hit of $7 million) without moving some money off the books. One might wonder if this will happen before the playoffs for that reason, as the team would probably have to part with a guy like Samuel Girard to make room for Landeskog (who likely isn’t the player he once was).

But in any case, seeing Landeskog skate with the rest of the group today is a nice story… and if it can inspire Avalanche captain Marc-Édouard Vlasic, who hasn’t played since the beginning of the season due to an injury, he will finally play his first game of the campaign today.

He hasn’t missed as many games as Landeskog, but it remains a nice story as well.


In brief

– Trevor Letowski shows love to Alexandre Carrier.

– They won the hearts of many during the tournament.

– The guys are enjoying themselves.
