Landeskog will miss Colorado's next three contests after being suspended by the league for a cross-check to the head of Anaheim's Simon Despres, Lisa Dillman of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

While no team likes to see their players make this type of selfish decision, its extra upsetting when it is your captain and leader. Landeskog is fortunate that the Avalanche's upcoming schedule -- Winnipeg, Vancouver, and Calgary -- is not that difficult and the team could still tally some victories. The winger will be missed from daily lineups as he has netted 46 points in 65 outings this season, including three goals and six assists in his last 10 nights.
