Avalanche’s Gabriel Landeskog injury update will force him to miss time

The Colorado Avalanche were one of the biggest winners at the NHL Trade Deadline. As they prepare to welcome in new players to the lineup, they will also be missing one of their current members.

The Avalanche announced on X, formerly Twitter, that Gabriel Landeskog will be out with an injury.

“Gabriel Landeskog will not play due to a lower-body injury. He is week-to-week,” the post read.

He took a shot to the midsection off the stick of Cale Makar during Friday’s game with the Dallas Stars. He did return to the game and played 22:54 in the contest. He showed reporters after the game his athletic cup, which had a large dent from Makar’s shot, according to Corey Masiak of the Denver Post.

“(Avalanche) captain Gabe Landeskog did take that Cale Makar shot in … a bad place. A key piece of protective equipment had a dent in it after said shot,” Masiak’s post on X read.

Landeskog had been solid for the team so far this year. He has found the back of the net nine times while adding 20 assists while playing 47 games.
