Landeskog Facing Multi-Week Absence Due to Upper Body Injury

Colorado Avalanche winger Gabriel Landeskog (upper body) is expected to be sidelined for "some weeks," according to head coach Jared Bednar, Corey Masisak of The Denver Post reports. While not officially ruled out for Team Sweden at the upcoming 2026 Winter Olympics, his participation looks doubtful. With Landeskog out, Ross Colton is anticipated to move into a top-six role, and Taylor Makar could receive an extended look at the NHL level. At this point, he will likely find himself on injured reserve.
