Landeskog (knee) may miss the entirety of the regular season, Ryan Boulding of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Landeskog resumed skating in February, but he remains without a definite timetable for his return, and it wouldn't be surprising to see the Avalanche hold him out until postseason play gets underway. The 30-year-old Swede, who has yet to play this season after undergoing knee surgery in October, racked up 30 goals, 59 points and 150 shots on net through 51 games last campaign.

Landeskog (knee) will return to Denver shortly and start skating, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Landeskog has yet to play this season and while it was thought he could return by mid-January, a return in mid-March or later, is more likely. Landeskog will need a couple of weeks to get in skating shape and then some full practices as well, before he is able to return to the lineup. He had 30 goals and 59 points in 51 games last season.

Landeskog (knee) is "on track" to begin skating soon, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Landeskog has yet to play this season, but it looks like he'll finally be back on the ice soon. The 30-year-old winger will need some time before he's in game shape, but a March return still looks to be the plan. He scored 59 points in 51 games last season.

Landeskog (knee) is not expected to play before March, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Landeskog's recovery from arthroscopic knee surgery in October has gone slower than anticipated. He's expected to begin skating some time after the All-Star break, but it'll likely take at least a couple of weeks beyond that before he gets up to speed after such a lengthy absence.

Landeskog (knee) will begin skating following the NHL's All-Star break, Brennan Vogt of Full Press Hockey reports.
EDGE Analysis
Landeskog has yet to play this season after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery in mid-October, but if he's able to avoid any setbacks once he resumes skating, it sounds like he could be ready to return sometime in mid-to-late February. Once given the green light, look for the 30-year-old winger, who racked up 30 goals and 59 points through 51 contests last season, to slot into a top-six role and a spot on the No. 1 power-play unit for the stretch run.

EDGE Analysis
Coach Jared Bednar said Monday that Landeskog is "nowhere close" to be being available. It remains unclear when the Avalanche captain will make his season debut. Landeskog, who has already missed 35 games, underwent knee surgery in mid-October.

Landeskog (knee surgery) is making progress according to coach Jared Bednar, Brennan Vogt of Colorado Hockey Now reports.
EDGE Analysis
Landeskog started started skating on his own two weeks ago and if he remains on schedule, he is approximately four weeks away from his return to the lineup. Landeskog has yet to play this season but will make a nice pickup for fantasy managers as he would have been a sixth or seventh round pick in most redraft leagues if he was not hurt.

Landeskog (knee) took to the ice Wednesday for the first time during the 2022-23 season, Brennan Vogt of Colorado Hockey Now reports.
EDGE Analysis
Landeskog was on the ice for about 10 minutes while doing light stick-handling. It's a hopeful sign for the team's captain, who is expected back in January, and a team that's coming off a 5-0 blanking by the Jets.

Landeskog (knee surgery) was placed on long-term injured reserve Saturday, Adrian Dater of ColoradoHockeyNow.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
That's no surprise since the Colorado captain underwent arthroscopic knee surgery Oct. 17 and was slated to be sidelined for 12 weeks. The move will allow the Avalanche some salary cap relief. Landeskog has yet to play this season.

Landeskog will be sidelined for 12 weeks after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery Monday, Ken Wiebe of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Landeskog's knee injury evidently hasn't been responding well to treatment, so he was forced to undergo an additional procedure Monday to address the issue. Given his expected recovery timetable, fantasy managers shouldn't expect to have Landy in their lineups until mid-January at a minimum. Artturi Lehkonen will likely continue to see top-six usage and plenty of time with the No. 1 power-play unit until Landeskog is ready to return.
