Take a look:
#GoAvsGo 1st Powerplay Unit welcomes Gabriel Landeskog back to it for the first time since 2022 in today's practice.
Colorado Avalanche coach, Jared Bednar, announced on Friday that he is impressed by the remarkable gameplay of Landeskog considering how long he has been away.
"It's remarkable, really. When you think about the time he's been away, and then you see the way he played the other night, I thought he was incredible under those circumstances," Avalanche coach Jared Bednar said Friday. "He just has a skill set that we hope to utilize in a bunch of different ways in the series yet, and that's a credit to him, the work that he's put in. Just like the poise he had with the puck in the last few practices, in the game, I thought it was really impressive. So we're going to hopefully take advantage of that."
Landeskog has undoubtely impressed majority of the hockey world as the forward has already displayed a remarkable return after three-years out of the NHL, and this has been noted by the Avalanches management as well as some players.
Charlie Coyle spoke to media about Landeskog's performance as well:
"I thought he looked great for not playing that long," Coyle said of Landeskog. "He comes out for a shift, sets a tone being physical. I thought he was pretty sound defensively. Just very good with the puck, where he's supposed to be, being in good spots, talking a lot. If you didn't know his situation, you would have thought he'd been playing all year. I thought he played a really good game, and it's definitely something to build on for us."
As of now Landeskog reveals his body is seemingly holding up perfectly which is important during such a crucial time of the season.
"No issues. The body's holding up well. Been skating pretty hard as of the last month or so," Landeskog said. "It wasn't really like we were going out to play and then gambling on how I was going to feel. We felt pretty confident with it.»
This is very exciting for the Colorado, and fans can hope this will conclude in the Avalanche taking the win against the Stars this Saturday.
