Colorado Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog won’t be available to his team when they take on the Minnesota Wild on Sunday and is considered week-to-week with a lower-body injury.
The injury occurred during Friday’s 5-5 shootout win against the Dallas Stars when Landeskog took a puck in the groin area off the stick of teammate Cale Makar.
Landeskog, 33, skated 22:54, recording an assist and two shots on goal in the victory.
Gabriel Landeskog will not play due to a lower-body injury. He is week-to-week.

The 6-foot-1 winger previously missed 14 games leading up to the Olympics in February with an upper-body injury. He returned to join Sweden at Milano Cortina 2026, recording two goals and four points in five games in a seventh-place finish.
He has nine goals and 29 points in 47 games with the Avalanche this season.
Colorado sits at the top of the NHL’s standings with a 42-10-9 record and are seven points ahead of the Stars and nine points ahead of the Wild at the top of the Central Division.
The team was active prior the trade deadline, acquiring forward Nazem Kadri from the Calgary Flames, centre Nicolas Roy from the Toronto Maple Leafs, and defenceman Brett Kulak from the Pittsburgh Penguins.
They have 21 games remaining in the regular season heading into Sunday’s action, including three games against the Wild and Stars.
