SUNRISE, Fla. — Gabe Landeskog left the Colorado Avalanche’s game Sunday against the Florida Panthers after crashing into the opposing net and then the end boards behind it.
It is an upper-body injury, according to a team spokesman.
“He’s going to miss some time,” Avs coach Jared Bednar said after a 2-1 loss to the Panthers. “He’s still being looked at and diagnosed, but he did not look comfortable.”
The Avs captain was down on the ice for several minutes after he went headfirst into the net at 1:22 of the second period. His left skate appeared to stumble, then Landeskog crashed into the Florida net and then the end boards behind it.
