Major development emerges regarding Colorado Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog
Gabriel Landeskog has taken a significant step toward returning to the Colorado Avalanche for the 2024-2025 season after undergoing cartilage transplant surgery in May 2023.
The Avalanche captain has been sidelined for most of the past two and a half seasons due to a right knee injury. However, recent reports suggest that Landeskog might be on track to rejoin the NHL in the upcoming season.
Landeskog was recently spotted working on his skating, particularly his turns and transitions. A video clip shows him putting his full weight on his surgically repaired knee, marking the best he has looked since the injury and surgery.
During this offseason, Landeskog has been working hard behind the scenes, often alone, to make his return. His teammates, including reigning MVP Nathan MacKinnon, have shown their support, emphasizing that the team isn't the same without him.
Former teammates Kurtis MacDermid and Erik Johnson also joined him on the ice, likely boosting his confidence as he works toward a comeback.
Landeskog spent about 50 minutes on the ice, skating at 50-70% of his full speed. His knee appears to be holding up well during turns, which are becoming tighter as he continues to recover. While everything looks promising for his return, setbacks are still possible.
Whether or not Landeskog will make his return this season remains uncertain, but his progress is a positive sign for the Avalanche, their fans, and the entire NHL.
