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.

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.

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.

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.

Landeskog (knee) will practice with AHL Colorado this weekend before joining the Avalanche's practice Monday, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Landeskog is not expected to play during the regular season, but this is a clear uptick in activity after he's been skating off and on during March. The 32-year-old is attempting to return from a nearly three-year absence. It's unclear when exactly he'll be cleared for games, and he may not be very effective if he ends up jumping back in during the postseason.

Landeskog (knee) isn't expected to return before the end of the 2024-25 regular season, Jesse Montano of Guerilla Sports reports Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Landeskog has been working his way back from a lengthy injury list. He had quadriceps surgery in the 2020 postseason, knee surgery in March of 2022 and October of 2022 before having cartilage replacement surgery on his knee on May 10, 2023. Landeskog hasn't played since June 26, 2022, and it remains unclear if he will be an option during the playoffs.
