Colorado Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog is four months into recovering from his third knee surgery in 15 months. This long-lasting injury will keep him sidelined for at least two full regular seasons, leaving fans watering at the mouth for his return.
General Manager Chris MacFarland had some interesting comments to say when it came to the return of his captain, stating he’s “hopeful” he returns for the Stanley Cup playoffs in 2024 in an interview with Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic. Now where have we heard this story before?
Landeskog’s injury dates back to being sliced by the skate of Cale Makar in the 2020 bubble playoffs.
