Landeskog Back, Knee Stronger | NHL News

Gabriel Landeskog, Colorado Avalanche captain, is back stronger than ever after a grueling three-season recovery from a devastating knee injury — the result of a skate blade cut in 2020. Once on the verge of retirement, he returned for the 2025 playoffs after over a thousand days away, becoming one of the NHL’s rare comeback legends. With 35 points in 60 games last season and 11 in 13 playoff contests, he’s proving his game is still sharp — even if his knee isn’t fully healed. Now focused on consistency and contributing at a high level, Landeskog is hungry to help the Avalanche reclaim their championship pedigree after recent playoff heartbreaks. With an 84-game slate ahead and a September 30 opener against the Kings, he’s ready to seize every moment — no more taking anything for granted.
