The veteran forward was one of the first players out for warmups ahead of Game 2 between the Stars and Avalanche at American Airlines Center. That turned out to be the only time Landeskog saw the ice Monday.

Landeskog last suited up for Colorado in June 2022. Since then, it’s been nothing but surgeries and pain and setbacks.

The Colorado Avalanche activated captain Gabriel Landeskog off injured reserve, paving the way for him to return from his nearly three-year absence as soon as Game 2 of Colorado’s first-round series against the Dallas Stars on Monday night.
