Colorado Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog will likely sit out the next 12 weeks after undergoing knee surgery Tuesday, head coach Jared Bednar said Wednesday.
Landeskog hasn't played a game this season. The Swedish forward, who'll turn 30 in November, had a previous knee procedure in March that forced him to miss the rest of the regular season. He returned in the playoffs and helped the Avalanche win the Stanley Cup.
The 11-year veteran collected 30 goals and 29 assists while averaging 20:19 of ice time - the second-largest workload of his career - over 51 games in 2021-22.
