The Colorado Avalanche enter into today’s game trying to garner a stronger hold on the final wild card playoff berth. They’ll be hosting one of the teams chasing them, the Arizona Coyotes.
Luckily for the Avalanche, the injury bug that has taken a big bite out of them recently might be easing up a little bit. In fact, the team may be getting back on of the key pieces of their lineup — the captain.
I’d say the captain of any team is integral to its success. However, Gabriel Landeskog is not only the heart and soul of the team, he’s an All Star forward who helped make up part of the NHL’s hottest line for most of the year.
