Landeskog recorded two assists, four shots on goal, four hits, two blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Thursday's 7-4 win over the Stars in Game 6.
EDGE Analysis
Landeskog has two multi-point efforts over four playoff games since he returned from a nearly three-year absence. The winger had a hand in both of Valeri Nichushkin's tallies in this contest. Landeskog has added eight shots on net, 13 hits, three blocked shots and a plus-4 rating so far. He was limited initially but saw 19:36 of ice time in Thursday's win, so it's safe to say he is as healthy as he's going to be at any point this postseason.

Landeskog scored a goal on three shots, dished an assist, added two hits and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Stars in Game 4.
EDGE Analysis
This was just Landeskog's second NHL game back from a nearly three-year absence due to a knee injury. He scored at 13:10 of the second period and then assisted on a Samuel Girard tally in the third. Landeskog was up on the second line Saturday and saw 14:37 of ice time, bumping Jonathan Drouin onto the third line. Landeskog is still being eased in, but the 32-year-old is looking up for the challenge so far in arguably one of the most intense first-round series.

Landeskog racked up six hits and a blocked shot in 13:16 of ice time in Wednesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Stars in Game 3.
EDGE Analysis
Landeskog's return from missing three full regular seasons saw him fill a third-line role in Game 3. The 32-year-old led the game with six hits, and if he's to remain deeper in the lineup, it won't be surprising for him to continue to play physical. The offense could be another story, as he'll have to get his timing back and may end up with limited minutes to stay healthy. Fantasy managers looking to utilize Landeskog this postseason should temper their expectations for his production.

Landeskog (knee) will return to the lineup for Wednesday's Game 3 versus the Stars, Kyle Keefe of Altitude TV reports.
EDGE Analysis
Landeskog was activated from injured reserve Monday but ultimately didn't suit up for Game 2. However, it looks like he's finally poised to rejoin the lineup after missing three full regular seasons. Landeskog is projected to make his return in a third-line role and should also be involved with one of the power-play units.

Landeskog is not suiting up against the Stars in Game 2 despite being activated off injured reserve Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Landeskog took the ice for pregame warmups, but that appears to have been gamesmanship from head coach Jared Bednar. Avalanche freelance writer Adrian Dater reported Wednesday that Colorado would possibly wait until Game 3 to put Landeskog in the lineup, which would be his first appearance since Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final during the 2021-22 season.

Landeskog (knee) was taken off injured reserve ahead of Monday's Game 2 versus Dallas.
EDGE Analysis
Landeskog is set to suit up in an NHL game for the first time since June of 2022, likely slotting into a third-line role in the absence of Ross Colton (lower body). In addition to filling a middle-six role at even strength, Landeskog could be in line for minutes with one of the two power-play units.

Landeskog (knee) was recalled from his conditioning stint with AHL Colorado on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Landeskog played in two games with the Eagles in which he generated one goal, one assist and two PIM. With the Avs having already wrapped up their regular season, the Swedish winger will get some extra practice time before the Avs kick off the postseason either Saturday or Sunday. If Landeskog plays, it will be his first NHL game action since June of 2022 due to his long-term knee injury.

Landeskog (knee) was held off the scoresheet Friday in his return to the ice for AHL Colorado.
EDGE Analysis
Landeskog last played in the 2022 Stanley Cup Finals, missing almost three years with knee problems. The veteran forward had a minor penalty for hooking in the opening frame and managed a pair of shots on goal in a 2-0 win over AHL Henderson. Landeskog could be healthy enough to contribute to the Avalanche's 2025 playoff run, which may start April 19.

Landeskog (knee) will suit up for AHL Colorado against Henderson on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Landeskog will be playing in a professional hockey game for the first time since June of 2022 after missing the entirety of the last two seasons and most of 2024-25. The Eagles are facing the Silver Knights in a back-to-back, so it's possible the veteran winger gets another game in the minors Saturday before returning to the Avalanche. Barring any setbacks, Landeskog seems to be trending toward a return for Colorado in the postseason and would likely jump into both a top-six role and the No.1 power-play unit.

Landeskog (knee) was reassigned to AHL Colorado on a conditioning stint Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Landeskog could play for the first time since June of 2022 when the Eagles square off with AHL Henderson on Friday and Saturday. This is just the next step in the veteran forward's recovery process that could see him return to NHL action in the postseason. If he does play in the first round, Landeskog figures to slot into a top-six role and should see plenty of power-play minutes.
