Avalanche get the best news about Gabriel Landeskog since his return to the ice

Gabriel Landeskog’s 2025-26 return to the Colorado Avalanche is one of the most anticipated subjects in all of hockey. While some people are skeptical regarding whether or not he will return to the ice on time, we’ve gotten some clarity on the team’s expectations regarding their captain in the upcoming season.

On Wednesday, Landeskog, sitting alongside Nathan MacKinnon, talked with reporters and gave a positive assessment of what he expects for himself this season.

“The end-goal is to win a Stanley cup. Hopefully multiple… I didn’t grind my ass off for three years to come back to just be part of the team…probably as motivated and excited we’ve been in a long time”
