We got some news from head coach Jared Bednar on some injuries surrounding some Colorado Avalanche players.
First was Gabriel Landeskog. The Avs have a timeline on when they even want to consider Landy returning, and that is minimally a year from when he had his recent surgery which was May of 2023. So a round 1, game 1 return will not happen. Round 2? Maybe. But is it even worth it?
Second was Logan O’Connor. LOC has been out recently with a lower body injury. We know now that it was hip related and he will have surgery to fix the issue. It will also keep him out of the rest of the season and playoffs.
Finally, while we didn’t get an update on Avs prospect Nikolai Kovalenko we know he finished his KHL career being helped off the ice after taking a hit with only minutes left in his season. Now we wait to see how severe it is.

Hope the knights sweep your hobo hockey team again this year.
Oh, the carpet-bagging, cherry-picking "GK?" The franchise with Bettman's "golden kiss?"
Well all this news sucks.
Ugliest unis in the NHL — yes, the GKs.
We would all love the fairy tale story of Landy scoring the GWG in Game 7 of the finals!!! But I want to see Landy play for years not weeks. He’s got 5 years on a contract, if he’s still playing I put money on he’ll stay in Colorado. He COULD have another 8-9 years of hockey in him.
If he comes back in the playoffs I’m going to panic anytime he gets hit etc.
Few more months rest for plenty of years of hockey that’s a good trade.
I’m sure Landy will make the right decision either way
And how would "ifwgs" describe the now-makeshift GKs? That throw-together is an epic abortion.
would "ifwgs"
The Avs have used LTIR like it is intended to be used. Landy has been out for two seasons and the league wants to provide cap relief for a team that has somebody out like that. They don’t want a team to have $7mil of cap space eaten up for a guy that is out multiple years.
Chris I did not want to hear but your take on Landeskog is so right, it’s easy to get hyped for him to come back but I think your right
