The Colorado Avalanche announced they have assigned forward and captain Gabriel Landeskog to their AHL affiliate Colorado Eagles on a conditioning stint. 

Landeskog has not played a game since game six of the 2022 Stanley Cup Finals when the Avalanche defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning to capture their third cup in franchise history.

The 32-year-old has dealt with a variety of injuries to his knee including one surgery in 2022 and a cartilage transplant in May 2023.  

The Avalanche's captain is currently on long-term injured reserve, this allows him to be loaned to AHL for three games or six days, whichever lasts longer, as the Avalanche assess his health. 

In his last full season in 2021-22 Landeskog recorded 59 points in 51 regular season games and 22 points in 21 playoff games. 

Landeskog has never appeared in an AHL game and has 248 goals and 571 points in 748 career NHL games.
