One year removed from cartilage transplant surgery, Avalanche captain Gabe Landeskog has more work left before potential return

Colorado Avalanche left wing Gabriel Landeskog, right, during practice before game five of the First Round of the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs against the Winnipeg Jets at the Canada Life Centre in Winnipeg, Canada on Tuesday, April 30, 2024. Gabe Landeskog has been joining his Colorado Avalanche teammates on the ice with more regularity in a tracksuit as the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs have progressed. But it doesn’t sound like he’ll be out there in full gear in the immediate future.

“Yeah, I don’t think he’s there yet,” Avs coach Jared Bednar said. “He is making progress, though. The work he’s doing both on and off the ice, the intensity is gradually getting greater and greater. So that’s a positive sign. More resistance, harder work. You know, as much as it will allow while still being cautious.”

Colorado’s captain has undergone four procedures on his knee since being cut by Cale Makar’s skate in a freak accident during the 2020 playoffs. This is the second consecutive regular season where Landeskog has been unable to play, but the timeline did leave open the possibility that he could rejoin the Avalanche if the club advances deep enough into the 2024 tournament.
