Head coach Jared Bednar issues unexpected statement on Gabriel Landeskog's performance upon his return to the Colorado Avalanche lineup for the first time in nearly three years.
Just on Wednesday night, the Colorado Avalanche have just confirmed Gabriel Landeskog's return for Game-3 of their playoff series against the Dallas Stars.
As over the last few weeks there has been a ton of talk about Gabriel Landeskog's return to the Colorado Avalanche lineup.
Gabriel Landeskog nearly makes his return during game-two
Captain Gabriel Landeskog nearly made his return to the ice for the first time in nearly 3 years as well. He took part in the warmups right before the beginning of the game, but after that it was super confusing.
There were reports that he was going to be playing and was gonna to be the first line out there for the opening draw, but just a couple minutes later it was revealed that he was not going to be playing.
It's been flip-flopped. Landeskog is now scratched with Wood in the lineup.
Gabriel Landeskog's return to the Colorado Avalanche has just been confirmed
However, just about an hour away from puck drop on Wednesday night reports surfaced that confirmed Landeskog would in fact be officially making his return for the first time in nearly three-years.
Truly an exciting night for all fans watching, especially has Gabriel Landeskog came out big for the Avs the entire night, laying several big hits. Something that also coughs the eye of head coach Jared Bednar, here's what he had to say:
«I was really happy with the way he played... I was pleasantly surprised with the poise that he showed with the puck."
I'd say it's safe to assume that all Avs fans feel the same way as Bednar. Just hopefully the Avalanche can bounce back on Saturday night for Game-4 as they have the chance to make it tied series.
