It was announced over the weekend that Colorado Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog will be out indefinitely due to knee surgery. The Avalanche winger is set to undergo surgery on Monday.
The timing of Landeskog’s surgery could work out for the Avalanche. Even if he misses several weeks, which he’s the Avs are looking forward to the playoffs anyway.
Colorado currently sits comfortably atop the NHL with 89 points in 60 games, a .742 point percentage. They have a 13-point lead over the Blues for first place in the Central Division and a 10-point cushion on the Flames, who the Avs beat on Sunday night, for the top spot in the Western Conference.
