Gabriel Landeskog Makes A Shocking Admission Regarding His Return From Injury Ahead Of Playoffs

He has not made his return to the NHL yet, but he is taking some big steps towards that by appearing in two games with the Colorado Eagles in the AHL, and even scored a goal, along with an assist during his second game back from injury.

Landeskog had a shocking admission following his second game with the Colorado Eagles though.

On April 11th, 2025, fans got to witness something they never thought they would be able to again as Landeskog laced up the skates for his first game since they hoisted the Stanley Cup on June 26th, 2022. Landeskog is defying the odds right now after having multiple knee surgeries, and a cartilage replacement surgery on his knee.

Landeskog played a big role in the Eagles comeback win late in the third period by getting an assist on a goal, and then scoring one of his own, helping the Eagles comeback and beat the Henderson Silver Knights 4-3 in a shootout.

After the game, Landeskog made a shocking admission about his performances since he has returned from injury.

Landeskog admitted that he isn't where he wants to be right now, but stated that it's a good step in the right direction going forward:

Just the fact of him playing games right now is a huge step in the right direction, and there is a good chance where he rejoins the Avalanche lineup at some point during the NHL playoffs.
