Avalanche's Gabriel Landeskog: Remaining back in Denver

Landeskog (knee) did not travel with the Avs for their three-game road trip but is expected to start skating at home, Marc Moser of Altitude Sports 950 reports Wednesday.

Landeskog has already missed the team's last 17 contests and will be on the shelf for at least three more based on his current timeline. Once cleared to play, the 29-year-old Swede should be a lock for a first-line role. As such, Landeskog should immediately return to being a great fantasy asset upon his return..
