DALLAS — Gabe Landeskog is back … on the Colorado Avalanche active roster.
Despite signs that Landeskog would make his NHL return for Game 2 of this 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs opening-round series, he was not in the lineup Monday night against the Dallas Stars.
The Colorado captain was activated from long-term injured reserve Monday afternoon, hours before Game 2. Landeskog led the Avs skaters out for warmups, behind starting goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood. He had the ‘C’ on his jersey, while Devon Toews was not sporting an ‘A.’
But Miles Wood, not Landeskog, took line rushes during warmups in place of an injured Ross Colton.
