The 30-year-old forward from Sweden had surgery in March 2022, but was able to make it back in time for the playoffs, where he had 22 points in 20 playoff games on the Avalanche’s Cup run last year. We want to help him to get the situation right so that he can resume playing.” “He’s a massive piece for our organization in so many ways. “He’s a massive piece for us, obviously on the ice and players like him don’t grow on trees,” MacFarland added. The top priority of the Avalanche has been to assist Landeskog “in any way possible in terms of getting solutions to help him get everything right,” general manager Chris MacFarland recently said. But we haven’t quite gotten past it yet obviously.” “It’s been a long road up to this point, but I’m hopeful and I’m optimistic and confident that eventually we’ll come out on the other side of this. Last month in a news conference, Landeskog said he remained confident he would play again. “In the NHL, I mean, you’ve got to be able to do everything at top speed.” The injury wasn’t so much an issue when he walked, but as he skated it was “just a different beast,” he acknowledged. He said he suffered a cartilage injury on the bottom of his patella. Landeskog recently explained that his knee injury stems back to the 2020 bubble season when he was sliced by a skate in a playoff game against Dallas. He was initially projected to miss 12 weeks after the operation in October before the playoffs started he was ruled out entirely. The 30-year-old Swede also missed all this past season following knee surgery – his second of 2022. He was instrumental in that run, recording 22 points in 20 games. Landeskog has not played since hoisting the Stanley Cup in Tampa, Florida, in late June 2022 after helping the Avalanche win their third title in franchise history. Brian Cole at the Rush University Medical Center is scheduled to perform it.
The team announced that Landeskog will have the operation in Chicago. DENVER - Colorado Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog is set to undergo cartilage transplant surgery on his right knee and expected to miss the entire 2023-24 NHL season.
