Gabriel Landeskog has been out of the NHL since his team won the Stanley Cup in 2022, but now he's taking huge steps towards a return with Colorado.

The Colorado Avalanche have failed to go deep in the Stanley Cup Playoffs in each of the past two years, but now, they could be getting a major boost ahead of the 2024/25 season. In a recent video posted to social media, footage is shown of captain Gabriel Landeskog back on the ice, and given the developments he's made since his devastating injuries, it's fantastic news for the organization.

While he often works alone, he's had the support of his teammates the entire way, and given how critical he is to the team success as a leader and a top-six forward, they know how crucial it would be to get him back on the ice.

Despite missing the past two years, Landeskog is still just 31-years of age, and after tallying 59 points in 51 games in the Stanley Cup winning 2021/22 season, he will help the team in more ways than one upon return. It's unclear exactly how far away No. 92 is from a return, but if he can play significant minutes this year along with Cale Makar and Nathan MacKinnon, this is a team that no one will want to run into come Stanley Cup Playoffs time.
