Avalanche's Gabriel Landeskog: Back in action for Game 1
Rotowire
Landeskog (rest) is expected to play in Sunday's home clash against the Kings in Game 1, per Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette.
After getting a night off against Seattle on Thursday, Landeskog is set to return for Game 1 of Colorado's opening-round playoff series. The 33-year-old winger posted 14 goals, 35 points, 132 shots on net, 86 hits and 32 blocked shots across 60 regular-season games in 2025-26. The Avalanche captain was on the third line and the top power-play unit during Saturday's practice.

Avalanche's Gabriel Landeskog: Getting Thursday's game off
Rotowire
Landeskog (rest) isn't in the lineup for Colorado's season finale against Seattle on Thursday, per Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette.
Landeskog will almost certainly be back in the lineup for Game 1 of Colorado's first-round series. He'll finish the regular season with 14 goals, 35 points, 47 PIM and 86 hits across 60 appearances in 2025-26. That's a far cry from his roughly point-per-game output across the 2020-21 and 2021-22 regular seasons, but it's impressive that Landeskog has done as well as he has after missing nearly three years due to multiple knee surgeries.

Avalanche's Gabriel Landeskog: Pots go-ahead goal
Rotowire
Landeskog scored a goal on five shots, added two hits and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Flames.
Landeskog's tally at 15:07 of the third period was the game-winner. The Avalanche haven't taken an aggressive approach to resting players since they secured the Presidents' Trophy, and Landeskog appears to be fairly fit, which is a good sign for a team still in its championship window. He's at 14 goals, 35 points, 132 shots on net, 86 hits, 47 PIM, 32 blocked shots and a plus-29 rating over 60 appearances. He's worth considering as a streaming option if he suits up Thursday in the regular-season finale versus the Kraken.

Avalanche's Gabriel Landeskog: Opens scoring on power play
Rotowire
Landeskog scored a power-play goal on three shots and added two hits in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Flames.
Landeskog had gone three games without a point prior to Thursday. This was his first power-play contribution since March 2, when he had a helper with the man advantage versus the Kings. The 33-year-old is up to 13 goals, 34 points (five on the power play), 123 shots on net, 81 hits, 31 blocked shots, 45 PIM and a plus-27 rating through 57 appearances. The Avalanche secured the Presidents' Trophy with Thursday's win, and it's possible Landeskog will be rested if he needs it at some point during the team's last four regular-season contests.

Avalanche's Gabriel Landeskog: Finds twine again
Rotowire
Landeskog scored a goal, added four PIM and went plus-3 in Wednesday's 8-6 loss to the Canucks.
Landeskog has scored in consecutive games and has four points over six outings since he returned from a lower-body injury. The 33-year-old is doing well in a middle-six role and continues to be a key supporting part of the Avalanche's offense. He's at 12 goals, 21 helpers, 116 shots on net, 74 hits, 41 PIM, 30 blocked shots and a plus-28 rating over 53 appearances this season.

Avalanche's Gabriel Landeskog: Buries goal Monday
Rotowire
Landeskog scored a goal on three shots, added two hits and blocked two shots in Monday's 9-2 win over the Flames.
Landeskog was under 15 minutes of ice time for the third game in a row, but given the lopsided nature of this contest, that's not a surprise. The 33-year-old also missed time due to a lower-body injury earlier in March, so the Avalanche are unlikely to push him too much with the Presidents' Trophy all but secured. Landeskog has earned 11 goals, 32 points, 115 shots on net, 73 hits, 37 PIM and a plus-25 rating over 52 outings in a solid comeback campaign.

Avalanche's Gabriel Landeskog: Nets goal in return
Rotowire
Landeskog scored a goal on two shots, added two PIM and doled out three hits in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Capitals.
Landeskog missed the previous seven contests due to a lower-body injury. He's taken more than his share of knocks in his comeback campaign, but he's still produced 10 goals, 30 points, 106 shots on net, 69 hits, 37 PIM and a plus-27 rating over 48 appearances. Landeskog would appear to be a top candidate to be rested if the Avalanche are able to secure the Presidents' Trophy early, but he's likely to be productive when in the lineup.

Avalanche's Gabriel Landeskog: Set to return Sunday
Rotowire
Landeskog (lower body) will return to the lineup Sunday against the Capitals, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.
Landeskog has missed the last seven games due to injury and has 21 total absences this season, but the Avalanche will get him back for the stretch run of the regular season. The 33-year-old has 29 points (nine goals, 20 assists) in 47 games on the year. He will likely reprise his role as a top-six forward and power-play fixture starting with Sunday's battle with the Capitals.
Avalanche's Gabriel Landeskog: Deemed week-to-week
Rotowire
Landeskog (lower body) is week-to-week and won't play against Minnesota on Sunday.
Landeskog had two goals and five assists in six appearances after returning from the 2026 Winter Olympics, where he played for Team Sweden. He missed 14 straight NHL games before representing his country in the tournament because of an upper-body injury. Landeskog has nine goals, 29 points, 104 shots on net and 66 hits across 47 outings this season.
Avalanche's Gabriel Landeskog: Adds insurance tally
Rotowire
Landeskog scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Ducks.
Landeskog has gotten on the scoresheet in four of five games since the Olympics, earning two goals and four assists. The 33-year-old winger tallied an insurance goal in the third period of this contest. He's up to nine goals, 28 points, 102 shots on net, 64 hits, 35 PIM and a plus-25 rating over 46 appearances. Landeskog is currently on the top line, so he's definitely worth rostering in nearly all fantasy formats.

Avalanche's Gabriel Landeskog: Pots goal, assists twice
Rotowire
Landeskog scored a goal and added two assists, including one on the power play, in Monday's 4-2 win over the Kings.
Landeskog made his presence felt early, setting up Nathan MacKinnon's goal and later adding a tally of his own in the first period. He helped close things out by assisting on Martin Necas' power-play empty-netter in the dying moments of the game. Landeskog has only eight goals and 27 points across 45 regular-season appearances this season, but he should continue to have upside as long as he remains in the first line of the Avs' offense next to MacKinnon and Necas.
Avalanche's Gabriel Landeskog: Two points vs. Latvia
Rotowire
Landeskog registered a goal and an assist in Sweden's 5-1 win over Latvia in the 2026 Winter Olympics on Tuesday.
Landeskog was one of three Swedish players with a goal and an assist in this win, alongside William Nylander and Mika Zibanejad. Landeskog has three points (two goals, one assist) so far in the Olympics, but he'll have a tougher matchup Wednesday when facing the United States.
Avalanche's Gabriel Landeskog: Cleared for Olympics
Rotowire
Landeskog (upper body) has been cleared to participate in the Olympics for Team Sweden, Shawn Roarke of NHL.com reports.
After appearing in 41 consecutive games to start the season, Landeskog missed the final 14 games before the Olympic break due to an upper-body injury. He has been cleared in time for the start of the Olympic tournament.

Avalanche's Gabriel Landeskog: Doubtful Wednesday
Rotowire
Landeskog (upper body) is doubtful for Wednesday's matchup versus the Sharks but is still expected to play in the Olympics, Jesse Montano of Guerilla Sports reports.
Landeskog has already been out of action for the Avalanche's last 12 games and looks set to miss at least two more. Prior to getting hurt, the Swede had notched six points in his previous seven outings. Assuming he gets into the lineup for the Tre Kronor, Landeskog should be ready to go for Colorado coming out of the Olympic break.

Avalanche's Gabriel Landeskog: Facing multi-week absence
Rotowire
Landeskog (upper body) is expected to be sidelined for "some weeks," according to head coach Jared Bednar, Corey Masisak of The Denver Post reports Tuesday.
Landeskog hasn't been ruled out for Team Sweden at the upcoming 2026 Winter Olympics, but things certainly don't look good for the 33-year-old winger. With Landeskog sidelined, Ross Colton figures to step into a top-six role while Taylor Makar could get an extended look at the NHL level. At this point, with Landeskog considered week-to-week, he will likely find himself on injured reserve sooner rather than later.

Avalanche's Gabriel Landeskog: Set for absence
Rotowire
Head coach Jared Bednar stated Sunday that Landeskog (upper body) is still being evaluated but is going to miss some time, Corey Masisak of The Denver Post reports.
It's unclear if Landeskog will remain with the team for the last game of its road trip Tuesday against the Lightning, but either way, the 33-year-old is set to be sidelined for an unknown period of time. While Landeskog is out of the lineup, Artturi Lehkonen figures to move up to the top line, and Ross Colton could receive a boost in ice time as well. Furthermore, Taylor Makar, who was recalled from AHL Colorado on Friday, may also receive a longer look with the big club as a result of Landeskog's injury.
