EDGE Analysis

That's points in back-to-back games for Landeskog, who has collected 24 points in 28 games on the season. The top-line forward has looked great in two games since returning from a back injury and should be in your lineup every night the Avalanche take to the ice.

Although Landeskog won't suit up for Saturday's tilt, he traveled with the Avalanche for their three-game road trip, indicating the team believes he'll be ready to return to action in time for Sunday's game against the Blues or Tuesday's matchup with Chicago.

EDGE Analysis

Landeskog picked up a goal and an assist in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Senators, while skating 23:45 in the contest.

EDGE Analysis

Head coach Patrick Roy is maximizing Landeskog's playing time of late, and the decision is paying off, as the 23-year-old Swede has recorded five points in his last four games. Even so, the Avalanche's captain sports a minus-3 rating on the season, and it's going to be hard for him to recover as long as the team around him continues to struggle.
