Colorado Avalanche star forward Gabriel Landeskog's journey is nothing short of inspiring. After nearly three years sidelined by a major injury, he made his long-awaited return in Game 3 of Colorado's first-round matchup against the Dallas Stars in the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs.
While the Avalanche fell short of reaching the second round, losing to Dallas in a hard-fought seven-game series, Landeskog's return stood out as a major bright spot in Colorado's underwhelming season.
Colorado Avalanche captain delivers a powerful message.
Rexwell Villas from Athlon Sports writes that ahead of the final screening of the TV miniseries "A Clean Sheet: Gabe Landeskog," which chronicles his battle though injury, the Swedish forward opened up about how he's been spending his time since the Avalanche were eliminated by Dallas.
«I've been back in the gym, back on the ice, and I'm feeling good." -Landeskog
Chosen second overall by the Avalanche is the 2011 NHL Draft, Gabriel Landeskog quickly validated the team's faith in him, posting 22 goals and 30 assists for 52 points across all 82 games of his impressive rookie season.
"His performance in that season was enough to earn him the 2011-12 Calder Trophy award. He reached what can be considered the pinnacle of his time with the Avalanche in 2022 when Colorado won the Stanley Cup for the first time since 2001." -Villas
Carrying a $7 million cap hit through the 2025-29 season, Landeskog has tallied 248 goals and 323 assists over 738 regular-season games, all with the Colorado Avalanche.
