This evening a new report from a Colorado Avalanche reporter has revealed that Gabriel Landeskog has potentially suffered a major setback to a serious injury.

The story of Gabriel Landeskog in the NHL over the last few seasons has been one of heartbreak. After leading the Colorado Avalanche to the Stanley Cup Finals in 2022 against the Tampa Bay Lightning Gabriel Landeskog suffered a major lower-body injury.

The knee injury kept him out for the entire 2022-23 season and eventually the playoffs. He would then end up missing an extra season as well. Heading into this season there was optimism that Gabriel Landeskog could return to the lineup early in 2024-25 after he made good progress. However, a recent comment from Colorado Avalanche head coach Jared Bednar put some doubt into the future of Gabriel Landeskog.

In the early years of the Colorado Avalanche's rebuild, Gabriel Landeskog was a key piece to the team building their culture the right way. He became the youngest captain in team history and one of the few Swedish captains at the time. Now a report this afternoon has put a shadow over his ability to continue building his legacy with the Avalanche.

Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog's future is in doubt

The announcement from the Avalanche and David Bednard has now been confirmed by an Avalanche reporter Adrian Dater and has been expanded upon. According to new information, there is concern that Gabriel Landeskog has suffered a setback so severe that it could lead to the end of his NHL career.

This is sad and frustrating news for both Gabriel Landeskog and the Colorado Avalanche organization as a whole. Before his injury, Gabriel Landeskog was an elite forward in the NHL. During the Stanley Cup Final run for the Avalanche Gabriel Landeskog tallied 20 points in 22 games.

If this is indeed the end for Gabriel Landeskog after suffering an injury setback he has had an incredible career. We continue to wish Gabriel Landeskog and the Colorado Avalanche all the best as they continue to try and find a way for him to return to game action again.
