A major announcement was just made regarding Colorado Avalanche Gabriel Landeskog and Ross Colton

Today, the Avalanche announced that captain Gabriel Landeskog has been activated from Injury Reserve. Hinting that he is going to be taking the next step and appearing in his first NHL game since June of 2022.

With him being activated to the actual roster, there is a really good chance that the Colorado Avalanche will have him playing in game two against the Dallas Stars tonight.

This is good and bad. This news comes after the Avalanche got hit with some bad news during their game on Saturday when Ross Colton ended up leaving Saturday's game during the third period after suffering a lower-body injury.

It's still unclear when the injury happened during the game, but head coach Jared Bednar did state that he is not feeling good today, and there's a good chance that he isn't going to play.

Colton played just one shift during the third period, and it was a 15-second-long shift, just over a minute into the third period. After that he was not seen on the bench again.

It's looking like fans are actually going to get to see Landeskog make his long awaited return to the NHL.

He is just coming off of a conditional loan with the Colorado Eagles which is the AHL affiliate of the Colorado Avalanche. In both games he looked really good scoring one goal and picking up an assist.
