Per the Colorado Avalanche, left winger Gabriel Landeskog is expected to miss significant time due to a lower-body injury (Hunter). Colorado is already struggling without Mikko Rantanen, who suffered a leg injury approximately one week ago. Landeskog has just seven points through 11 games, and is posting a -4 rating (HockeyReference). Last season, the Swede scored a career-high 34 goals through 73 games, and helped lead his team into the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs last season. However, the Avalanche ultimately fell to the San Jose Sharks in seven games.
