DENVER -- Colorado Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog scored his first NHL goal in nearly three years in the second period of Game 4 against Dallas on Saturday night.
Facing a 2-1 series deficit, the Avalanche and their crowd erupted soon after Landeskog's snap shot went into the net. He was quickly greeted by teammates along the boards and hugged by Nathan MacKinnon after he made his way over to the bench. Landeskog's goal came off an assist from Brock Nelson and gave the Avalanche a 3-0 lead.
It was Landeskog's first tally since June 20, 2022, against the Tampa Bay Lightning in the Stanley Cup Finals.
