Yesterday we received terrible news concerning Colorado Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog.
Landeskog, who initially went on LTIR at the beginning of October, and who underwent arthroscopic knee surgery, was given a 12-week recovery estimate.
Now, 12 weeks later, head coach Jared Bednar was brutally honest about Landeskog's return.
Gabriel Landeskog is nowhere close to returning

This will pose a serious problem for the team, who have been cursed by injuries all year. Hopefully things will turn around quickly, as the hope for a second consecutive Stanley Cup feels to be fading away.
