Game 4 was a victory for the Colorado Avalanche in Ball Arena, and Nathan MacKinnon's statement was full of appreciation for the Captain, Gabriel Landeskog, who is one of a kind.
Captain Gabriel Landeskog came out of Game 4 against the Dallas Stars with 2 points (1 goal, 1 assist). He'd play a total of 21 shifts and 14:37 TOI that night.
He'd be a key piece in the team regaining control of a series that the team was struggling to maintain.
Now tied 2-2, as Peter DeBoer's Stars will have to adjust.
With Game 4 done and over with Nathan MacKinnon was interviewed about how he felt with Landeskog back in the lineup.
Landeskog has only returned for 2 games in the NHL and is already a point-per-game player in the toughest part of the NHL season.
Plays a simple game but plays it superbly well. Knows when to shoot and when to pass, and he is physical enough to protect smaller, skilled linemates. Is an exemplary teammate and a low-maintenance star.

"There's only one Gabe Landeskog"
With never a truer statement uttered before, they'll need to find ways to capitalize on that uniqueness to send the Stars to elimination.
After last night's win, they'll need two more victories to advance to the second round and keep their Stanley Cup hopes alive.
He's been known his entire career as a solid two-way power forward who can skate, snipe, make players, and offer some grit on the ice when it comes to the Avalanche's opponents.
Landeskog already has 2 points in 2 games with the Avalanche in the playoffs. He's not done yet, is he?
