Avalanche's Gabriel Landeskog: Provides two helpers
Rotowire
Landeskog logged two assists and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Canucks.
Landeskog set up second-period tallies by Brock Nelson and Nathan MacKinnon. Prior to Tuesday, Landeskog battled an illness but ultimately didn't have to miss a game. He has earned three goals and five helpers, as well as a plus-8 rating and 17 shots on net, over his last six contests. The 33-year-old is up to 14 points, 46 shots on net, 37 hits, 21 PIM and a plus-11 rating through 26 appearances in a middle-six role. Landeskog's recent uptick in production should have him at least on the radar in all fantasy formats.

Avalanche's Gabriel Landeskog: Moves past illness
Rotowire
Landeskog (illness) will suit up at home against the Canucks on Tuesday, according to Aarif Deen of Colorado Hockey Now.
Landeskog missed Monday's practice because of an illness, but he'll avoid missing his first game of the season Tuesday. The Swedish winger has seemed to have found his offensive stride lately, notching six points across his last five games, including two goals (one on the power play) and an assist in Saturday's 7-2 win over Montreal.

Avalanche's Gabriel Landeskog: Under the weather
Rotowire
Landeskog will miss practice Monday due to an illness.
Landeskog joins Nathan MacKinnon and Parker Kelly on the shelf due to illness Monday. After starting the year with just two goals in his first 23 contests, the 33-year-old Landeskog appears to have found his stride, scoring three goals in his last two outings. At this point, Landeskog should be considered questionable ahead of Tuesday's game against Vancouver.

Avalanche's Gabriel Landeskog: Three-point effort in win
Rotowire
Landeskog scored two goals, one on the power play, and added an even-strength assist in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Canadiens.
The veteran winger erupted for his first multi-point performance of the season, potting the Avs' second and seventh goals in the rout. Landeskog has been heating up of late, and over the last nine games, he's racked up five goals and eight points after managing just four points (all helpers) over his first 16 contests.

Avalanche's Gabriel Landeskog: Three points in last four games
Rotowire
Landeskog scored a goal Friday in a 3-2 shootout loss to Minnesota.
Landeskog tied the game 2-2 at the mid-point of the third period after Nathan MacKinnon sent a no-look backhand pass from the left circle to him at the side of the net. Landeskog has a point in each of his last two games and three of his last four (one goal, two assists). It's a long way back for Landeskog, who played five playoff games last season after last lacing them up in June of 2022. Perhaps this little run is the start of his real comeback. He has three goals, six assists and 41 shots in 24 games.

Avalanche's Gabriel Landeskog: Fills empty net
Rotowire
Landeskog scored an empty-net goal on two shots and added two PIM in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Sabres.
Landeskog's overturned goal count is still higher than his actual (three to two). He had one taken back earlier in this game before finding the empty-net to seal the win. The 32-year-old's ability to get the puck to the net -- even when it hasn't been rewarded -- is an encouraging sign for his production the rest of the way. He's managed six points, 26 shots on net, 28 hits, 19 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 18 appearances this season in a third-line role.

Avalanche's Gabriel Landeskog: Finally gets first goal of season
Rotowire
Landeskog scored a goal on two shots and added five hits in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Ducks.
This was Landeskog's first regular-season goal in over three-and-a-half years. He's had a couple of pucks hit the net earlier this season, but both were called back on offside plays. Landeskog has done fine so far, all things considered, with his multi-year recovery from multiple knee surgeries. He's up to five points, 24 shots on net, 27 hits, 17 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 17 appearances in a third-line role.

Avalanche's Gabriel Landeskog: First point since 2021-22
Rotowire
Landeskog picked up an assist in a 4-1 win over the Blue Jackets on Thursday.
It was Landeskog's first point of the season. He returned for five playoff games last season, but he last played regular-season matches in 2021-22. Landeskog has faced a long and arduous path to return to the NHL, so this is a moment to applaud. It remains to be seen what he'll deliver over a long season, but it's encouraging that he's on the scoresheet.
Avalanche's Gabriel Landeskog: Dishes pair of assists
Rotowire
Landeskog recorded two assists, four shots on goal, four hits, two blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Thursday's 7-4 win over the Stars in Game 6.
Landeskog has two multi-point efforts over four playoff games since he returned from a nearly three-year absence. The winger had a hand in both of Valeri Nichushkin's tallies in this contest. Landeskog has added eight shots on net, 13 hits, three blocked shots and a plus-4 rating so far. He was limited initially but saw 19:36 of ice time in Thursday's win, so it's safe to say he is as healthy as he's going to be at any point this postseason.
Avalanche's Gabriel Landeskog: Nets first NHL goal since 2022
Rotowire
Landeskog scored a goal on three shots, dished an assist, added two hits and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Stars in Game 4.
Landeskog didn't record a point or a shot across 13:16 of ice time in his return to the Avalanche on Wednesday, but his second NHL game back from a nearly three-year absence due to a knee injury went differently. He scored at 13:10 of the second period and then assisted on a Samuel Girard tally in the third. Landeskog was up on the second line Saturday and saw 14:37 of ice time, bumping Jonathan Drouin onto the third line. Landeskog is still being eased in, but the 32-year-old is looking up for the challenge so far in arguably one of the most intense first-round series.

Avalanche's Gabriel Landeskog: Doles out six hits in return
Rotowire
Landeskog racked up six hits and a blocked shot in 13:16 of ice time in Wednesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Stars in Game 3.
Landeskog's return from missing three full regular seasons saw him fill a third-line role in Game 3. The 32-year-old led the game with six hits, and if he's to remain deeper in the lineup, it won't be surprising for him to continue to play physical. The offense could be another story, as he'll have to get his timing back and may end up with limited minutes to stay healthy. Fantasy managers looking to utilize Landeskog this postseason should temper their expectations for his production.
