Gabriel Landeskog, a Swedish star player for the Colorado Avalanche, is set to miss some games due to an injury sustained on March 6 during a match against the Dallas Stars. The incident was particularly unfortunate as the puck was shot by his own teammate, Cale Makar. While the team has not officially confirmed the nature of Landeskog's injury, Dr. Harjas Grewal provided a concerning assessment on social media, suggesting possibilities like a testicular tear, contusion, or bleeding in the area.

Head coach Jared Bednar refrained from specifying the injury during the press conference but hinted at its severity, sharing a light moment with reporters about the nature of the injury. He acknowledged that it is a lower-body injury and humorously noted that it is not a pleasant one. As Landeskog is a crucial player for the Avalanche, his absence could impact the team as they move closer to playoff season. However, he is expected to recover adequately in time for the playoffs.

At 33 years old, Landeskog has contributed significantly to the Avalanche, playing 47 games this season with a tally of 9 goals and 20 assists. He also achieved a personal milestone of 600 career points in the game against Dallas, highlighting both his talent and his unfortunate timing of the injury.
