Avalanche's Gabriel Landeskog: Getting Thursday's game off

Landeskog (rest) isn't in the lineup for Colorado's season finale against Seattle on Thursday, per Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette.

Analysis:

Landeskog will almost certainly be back in the lineup for Game 1 of Colorado's first-round series. He'll finish the regular season with 14 goals, 35 points, 47 PIM and 86 hits across 60 appearances in 2025-26. That's a far cry from his roughly point-per-game output across the 2020-21 and 2021-22 regular seasons, but it's impressive that Landeskog has done as well as he has after missing nearly three years due to multiple knee surgeries.
