That said, he will be ready to suit up on Tuesday against the Vancouver Canucks. The 33-year-old Landeskog, playing his first season in several years, has been excellent lately for the Avalanche, with eight points (5G / 3A) in his last nine games.

It's unclear if he will be ready to suit up when the team returns to action on Monday against the Vancouver Canucks.
Landeskog participated in the pregame skate on Monday but was a late scratch, delaying his return to the lineup. He has not played in an NHL game since the 2021-22 season, but appeared in two AHL games during a conditioning loan this month. The Avalanche captain will make his remarkable return to the lineup for the third game of the series, with the Stars and Avs tied at a game a piece.

After a brief two-game stint with the Colorado Eagles (AHL), scoring two points (1G / 1A), Landeskog has returned to the Avalanche. The 32-year-old Landeskog looked poised in controlled deployment in the AHL but it's unclear if he will be an option for the Avalanche in game one of the playoffs.

He has 571 points (248G/323A) and a +77 plus/minus across 738 career NHL games.

Landeskog missed the entire 2022-23 regular season as he recovered from knee surgery and will now go back under the knife for a cartilage transplant in his right knee which will cause him to miss the 2023-24 season as well. It is a tough loss for the Avalanche as their captain has not played since hoisting the Stanley Cup in 2022. The 30-year-old has 571 points (248G/323A) and a +77 plus/minus across 738 career NHL games played.
Landeskog, who had surgery on his knee prior to the playoffs last season, has not played this season. He's been on the ice gearing up to play in the postseason but the Avalanche announced on Thursday that he will not be available during the 20223 playoffs.
The Avalanche captain will be out until at least late January after it was announced Wednesday he had knee surgery which should hold him out for at least 12 weeks. It is tough news for the Avalanche after the 29-year-old scored 30 goals in 51 games after an injury-shortened season in 2021-22.
The Avalanche had provided very few details regarding Landeskog's status, so the fact that he's expected to return to the ice this week, suggests he won't be sidelined for an extended period of time. Expect updates to be more and more frequent as he ramps up his rehab.
Landeskog is dealing with an injury from last season and will not skate "anytime soon," according to head coach Jared Bednar. Landeskog will miss the start of the season, but it's unclear how long he will be sidelined.
Landeskog underwent a procedure on his knee in mid-March and resumed skating this week. All signs are pointing toward Landeskog being on track to be ready for Game 1 of the playoffs.
Landeskog has been dealing with a nagging knee injury for "a little bit." He'll undergo surgery and the Avalanche are hopeful that he'll be back for the start of the playoffs but they will know more after the surgery. This is obviously a terrible blow for the Avalanche but they are virtually locked into the playoffs, so they will give Landeskog the opportunity to get right ahead of what they hope is a lengthy playoff run.
Landeskog has missed the last three games while in COVID-19 protocol but is expected to play Saturday. Landeskog, who has 31 points (12G / 19A) in his last 21 games, will be back on the top line and top power-play unit.
