Landeskog Out Week-to-Week with Injury

Avalanche captain Gabe Landeskog hits the sidelines week-to-week with a nagging lower-body issue, leaving Colorado's leadership core thinner at a pivotal juncture. The timing stings as the Avs host Minnesota in a division dogfight, forcing MacKinnon and company to rally without their heart-and-soul leader who's battled back from long absences before. Depth players step up now, but this injury tests whether Colorado's firepower holds without its captain anchoring the room.
