Landeskog has tested positive for COVID-19 and won't be available against the Kraken on Monday, Mike Chambers of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

With the Avs entering a back-to-back, it seems unlikely Landeskog could test negative in time to play in Tuesday's meeting with Nashville either. On the year, the Swedish winger has racked up 35 points in 26 contests and should get back over the 50-point threshold eighth time in his NHL career, barring any extended injury absences. Andre Burakovsky should be in the mix to replace Landeskog on the first line, though Nazem Kadri could also be an option.

Landeskog scored a goal on six shots and assisted on another in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

Landeskog was part of Colorado's comeback from two three-goal deficits. He set up Nathan MacKinnon's goal in the first period, then finished off his own rebound to make it a 4-3 game midway through the third period. It was the second straight game with multiple points for Landeskog, who extended his point streak to 14 consecutive games. The Avalanche's top line has carried the team through a four-game winning streak since the resumption of their season following a stretch of cancellations due to COVID-19 protocols.

Landeskog scored three goals on five shots, two on the power play, and an assist in Thursday's 7-1 win over the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Landeskog recorded his fourth career hat trick. The first of his three scores, early in the second period, turned out to be the game-winner for the Avalanche, who have won 10 consecutive at home. Colorado's top line starred in this game. Along with Landeskog's four points, Nathan MacKinnon had a goal and four assists, while Mikko Rantanen chipped in with a tally and two helpers. Landeskog has points in 13 straight games played, compiling seven goals and 12 assists during that run.

Landeskog scored a power-play goal on two shots and added three hits in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

Landeskog missed the last three games before the holiday break with a lower-body injury. His tally at 3:19 of the third period tied this game at 2-2, and it also extended his point streak to 11 contests (four goals, 10 helpers). The Swede continues to thrive in a top-line role, which has seen him put up 10 goals, 28 points (eight on the power play), 63 shots on net, 37 hits and 44 PIM in 23 appearances.

Landeskog (lower body) has been activated off injured reserve, per the NHL media site.

EDGE Analysis

Landeskog's activation will clear the way for him to suit up in Sunday's matchup with the Ducks. With the Swedish winger back in action, he figures to reclaim his spot on both the No. 1 power-play unit as well as the first line, both with world-class center Nathan MacKinnon. As such, Landeskog figures to remain a top-end fantasy target throughout the remainder of the 2021-22 campaign.

Landeskog (lower body) practiced Sunday, Adrian Dater of Colorado Hockey Now reports.

EDGE Analysis

Landeskog wore a regular sweater and should be ready to go when the Avalanche resume their season Wednesday against Dallas. When Landeskog first landed on injured reserve, he was expected to miss at least eight games, but the COVID-19 induced pause in the season limited his absence to perhaps just three games.

Landeskog (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, per CapFriendly.

EDGE Analysis

Landeskog was given a two-week timeline to return as of Sunday, so his placement on injured reserve comes as no surprise. It's unclear if he'll have enough time to return before the holiday break or if the Avalanche will be without their captain until Dec. 27 versus the Golden Knights.

Coach Jared Bednar said Landeskog (lower body) will be out about two weeks, Marc Moser of Altitude Sports 950 reports.

EDGE Analysis

The forward suffered the injury during Friday's game against Detroit. Mikhail Maltsev was recalled from AHL Colorado to fill the void left by Landeskog, who has nine goals and 18 assists in 22 games this season.

Landeskog (lower body) will not return to Friday's contest against Detroit, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Landeskog tallied an assist in 12:03 of ice time before leaving Friday's game. He's now up to 27 points with a plus-12 rating through 22 games this season. An update on his status should be available before Sunday's tilt with the Panthers.

Landeskog logged an assist, two shots on net and seven PIM in Wednesday's 7-3 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Landeskog helped out on a Nathan MacKinnon tally in the second period. Later in the frame, Landeskog came to MacKinnon's defense after the latter was crushed on a Jacob Trouba hit, prompting a show of fisticuffs from the Avalanche's captain. During his nine-game point streak, Landeskog has three goals and nine assists, as well as 30 PIM. The Swede is up to 26 points, 60 shots, 42 PIM, 32 hits and a plus-12 rating in 21 contests overall.
