For the first time since 2022: Colorado captain Gabriel Landeskog to play for AHL team

In the spring of 2022, the Colorado Avalanche clinched the Stanley Cup, but even amidst such an achievement, bad news did not spare the team.

Team captain Gabriel Landeskog suffered a knee injury and had to undergo surgery. The injury was so severe that he missed the entire 2022/23 and 2023/24 seasons and has not yet returned to the ice. However, the wait is nearly over.

Details: As announced by the Colorado Avalanche, their captain and leader Gabriel Landeskog is ready to make his comeback and will play for the AHL affiliate team, the Colorado Eagles, on Friday, April 12. This will be his first match in almost three years.

By the way, just a few days ago, Vancouver defeated Dallas 6-5 on the road in overtime. The drama of the match was impressive: with a minute left before the final whistle, Vancouver was trailing 2-5 but managed to score three goals in breathtaking seconds, taking the game into overtime and snatching the victory there.
