Overview
- Head coach Jared Bednar said Gabriel Landeskog is unlikely to play in Colorado’s final pre-break game but does not believe his Olympic participation is in jeopardy.
- Landeskog practiced in a red no-contact sweater after skating early with Devon Toews and has been increasing his on-ice and gym work.
- He has missed the last 12 games since suffering an upper-body injury on Jan. 4 when he crashed into the goal post in Florida, and he has seven goals and 22 points in 41 games this season.
- Sweden opens its tournament on Feb. 11, providing roughly a week beyond the NHL schedule for Landeskog to be cleared to play.
- Multiple NHL insiders, including TSN’s Pierre LeBrun, report he would captain Team Sweden if he goes, though Sweden has not made an official announcement.
