The Colorado Avalanche said captain Gabriel Landeskog (head) could begin skating again "very soon." The Avs refused to specify a date but did say there's reason for optimism in Landeskog's recovery from what is likely a concussion. However, head injuries are incredibly tricky so there's no real telling when Landeskog will be able to get back on the ice. The young winger's been sidelined since Jan. 26.
