Don't expect the Avalanche's coaching search to end anytime soon.

This according to the Denver Post's Adrian Dater, who says sources tell him nothing will be happening "in the near future." Dater infers this to mean the Avs want to see if Dave Tippett becomes available as his contract with the Coyotes expires June 30. Colorado could also look at Lindy Ruff, too. It's unclear whether Patrick Roy is still a candidate for the gig.

Gabriel Landeskog is expected to be named captain of Team Sweden at the upcoming World Hockey Championships.

The tournament will begin in Finland and Sweden this week. Landeskog was named the youngest captain in NHL history last September and Sweden's projected call to give him the 'C' in a high-profile international competition supports Colorado's decision and faith in his leadership.

Jean-Sebastien Giguere defended captain Gabriel Landeskog Monday about comments that Giguere made about the Avs last week.

Giguere ripped his teammates last week, saying that they were not committed to the game since dropping out of the playoff race. People commented that team captain Gabriel Landeskog should have been the one making the comment but Giguere defended him. "He's going to be a tremendous captain," Giguere said. "He's a natural-born leader. He's been very vocal in the dressing room for us. It's hard. You're a last-place team and you're 20 years old and you're the captain. It's not easy. Some other guys have to take charge sometimes. It's not just about him."

Gabriel Landeskog scored a goal Saturday.

That's Landeskog's second goal in three games. He seems to be snapping out of his cold streak and might be setting himself up for a strong finish to the 2013 campaign.

Gabriel Landeskog scored a shorthanded goal on Wednesday.

Landeskog ended a seven-game pointless slump. With just eight goals and 13 points in 28 games, his sophomore campaign will likely be seen as a disappointment. However, considering his season got disrupted because of a concussion, it's hard to judge him too harshly. He'll be a good pickup late in drafts next season as he'll probably rebound in 2013-14.

Gabriel Landeskog has been held off the scoresheet in his last six games and has only one goal in his last nine.

It has been a tough offensive year for the Avalanche captain with only seven goals and 12 points in 26 games. "I'm not one to use the captaincy as an excuse for how I've been playing," Landeskog said. "There have been more things to divide my focus upon, off the ice, more responsibility, a little more pressure of being a go-to guy, but for me, it hasn't been an excuse - at all. But it's easier to take (losing) personally than if I didn't have the C," he said, referring to the captain's insignia. "Again, I don't want to blame anything on the C. I've enjoyed having it, and I have learned a lot. If anything, I have realized you can get too snowed in on the captaincy, instead of being yourself. It's hard when the team isn't doing well. It's been hard to know what to do, and when to do it. I knew from Day One I wasn't going to be a perfect captain, but I believe I can still be a good one." Look for a big comeback next season from the talented Landeskog.

Gabriel Landeskog scored a goal in Colorado's 4-3 loss to Calgary.

Landeskog has now found the back of the net in five of his last six games. He missed a good chunk of the shortened season due to a concussion and endured a bit of a cold streak upon his return. Still, he should remain hot in April.
