Avalanche’s Landeskog, Toews Both Out Week-to-Week
Gabriel Landeskog and Devon Toews are both out week-to-week, according to Avalanche head coach Jared Bednar.
The update came in Tampa Bay, where Bednar told reporters that Landeskog will miss “some weeks” with an upper-body injury. Bednar also noted that it’s too early to rule out the Olympics for the Swedish forward.
It also sounds like Devon Toews could be back within a couple of weeks. Toews, who sustained his upper-body injury in Carolina on Saturday, is expected back before Landeskog.
The Avs close out their three-game road trip against the Lightning on Tuesday evening. Both Landeskog and Toews will miss their first game of the season.
Landeskog has seven goals and 22 points at the midpoint of the season, while Toews has a goal and 13 points. Colorado is 31-3-7 ahead of a matchup with the Eastern Conference powerhouse.
#Avs coach Jared Bednar said Gabe Landeskog will miss “some weeks” with his upper-body injury. Too early to rule out the Olympics.
He said Devon Toews is week-to-week. Best-case scenario for him might be two weeks. He’s expected back before Landeskog, though.

As good as could be expected.
Not too bad. I would hope that neither pushes too hard to get back for Olympics. It would be better if they took the time off and were 100% before the NHL season resumes and/or SC playoffs begin.
Try telling kids to not eat candy…..
Agree 100%. Be smart. It’s time for the other Avs to step up.
Totally agree with both of you! I just hope they can put the Avs first and not their childhood dreams.
I will be really disappointed if they try to rush back for the Olympics. I get the “win a medal for your country” thing, but the priority has to be a Cup and the team that’s paying you, no?
