Overview

  • Bednar said Gabriel Landeskog will miss "some weeks" with an upper-body injury, with his Olympic availability not ruled out at this stage.
  • Devon Toews is considered week-to-week with a best-case return of about two weeks and is expected back before the captain.
  • Reports differ on whether Toews’s issue is an upper- or lower-body injury, though outlets agree it occurred last week against Carolina.
  • Landeskog was injured crashing into the net against Florida on Sunday, and Toews missed that game after being tripped into the boards versus the Hurricanes.
  • Colorado entered Tuesday at 31-3-7 leading the NHL and closes a road trip in Tampa before seven straight home games.
