After missing nearly three full seasons with a knee injury, the last thing anyone wanted to see was another injury. However, there were sighs of relief when it turned out to be an upper-body injury, and another knee injury didn&#8217;t cause the fall.<\/p>\n<p>The next concern for fans was <a href=\"https:\/\/clutchpoints.com\/nhl\/colorado-avalanche\/avalanches-jared-bednar-provides-gabriel-landeskog-devon-toews-injury-updates\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">how long the injury would keep him out<\/a>. It&#8217;d be a great story to see Landeskog play in the Olympics after all the questions about his hockey future over those three years of absence. With the Olympics beginning in a little over a month, any injury to a player now could jeopardize his status. It <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/cmasisak22\/status\/2008590122443501650\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">might not be<\/a> time to write Landeskog off yet, though, according to reporter Corey Masisak via a post on X.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAvs coach Jared Bednar said Gabe Landeskog will miss \u2018some weeks&#8217; with his upper-body injury,\u201d Masisak reported. \u201cToo early to rule out the Olympics.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Avalanche has some time to kill regarding getting their captain healthy. They are on pace to possibly break the NHL&#8217;s regular season points record, and the playoffs are essentially a foregone conclusion. If Landeskog wasn&#8217;t able to return until closer to the postseason and get some rest, it&#8217;d be a great benefit to their Stanley Cup hopes.<\/p>\n<p>The problem is that Colorado&#8217;s players aren&#8217;t wired like that. The uber-competitive Landeskog will do anything to represent his country at the Olympics. If there is a way to return in time for the tournament, Gabriel Landeskog will make sure the injury is in the rearview mirror.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Colorado Avalanche fans expected the worst when they saw captain Gabriel Landeskog carried off the ice by trainers&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":395345,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5116],"tags":[193,192,144,5277,7,5,4,7901],"class_list":{"0":"post-395344","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-colorado-avalanche","8":"tag-avalanche","9":"tag-colorado","10":"tag-colorado-avalanche","11":"tag-coloradoavalanche","12":"tag-gabriel-landeskog","13":"tag-hockey","14":"tag-nhl","15":"tag-nhl-injury"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/115853411718907170","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/395344","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=395344"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/395344\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/395345"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=395344"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=395344"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=395344"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
