Gabriel Landeskog went 1,020 days without playing in a hockey game. His wait for No. 2 is going to be hours, not days.
Landeskog will suit up again Saturday night for the Colorado Eagles at Blue Area in Loveland against the Henderson Silver Knights. The Colorado Avalanche captain returned Friday night after not playing since Game 6 of the 2022 Stanley Cup Final on June 26, 2022.
He missed nearly three years because of issues with his right knee that began when Cale Makar’s skate accidentally cut him above his knee during a 2020 game inside the NHL’s “COVID bubble” in Edmonton. He’s had several procedures done, the most recent being knee cartilage replacement surgery in May 2023.
No player has returned from the procedure to NHL action, but Lonzo Ball had it done in March 2023 and has returned for the Chicago Bulls this season.
FloHockey will stream the game on its website with a subscription, but not for free, and on its social media platforms, similar to Friday night. The game will also air on the radio on 950 AM.
