SUNRISE, Fla. — Colorado Avalanche<\/a> captain Gabriel Landeskog<\/a> was injured early in the second period of his team’s 2-1 loss<\/a> to the Florida Panthers<\/a> on Sunday night and needed to be helped off the ice.<\/p>\n

Landeskog lost his footing, fell to the ice and crashed into the goalpost before coming to a stop in front of the end boards. He was down for more than a minute, being tended to by members of the Colorado medical staff and was unable to skate off under his own power. The Avalanche said Landeskog had an upper-body injury.<\/p>\n

After the loss, Colorado coach Jared Bednar told reporters that Landeskog is “going to miss some time for sure.”<\/p>\n

Landeskog helped the Avalanche win the Stanley Cup in 2022, then sat out nearly three full years because of a chronically injured right knee — one that required several procedures before he could play again. He returned for five games in last season’s playoffs, ending more than 1,000 days of waiting between games.<\/p>\n

It was his left knee that appeared to buckle on the play in which he was injured Sunday, moments before he crashed into the post.<\/p>\n

Landeskog has appeared in all 41 of Colorado’s games this season, a key part of the team’s historic start. The Avalanche are 31-3-7 and has the second-most points through 41 games in NHL history.<\/p>\n

He has seven goals and 15 assists this season and had been named to represent Sweden in next month’s Milan Cortina Olympics.<\/p>\n
