Gabriel Landeskog - Set for absence Head coach Jared Bednar stated Sunday that Landeskog (upper body) is still being evaluated but is going to miss some time, Corey Masisak of The Denver Post reports.

Impact It's unclear if Landeskog will remain with the team for the last game of its road trip Tuesday against the Lightning, but either way, the 33-year-old is set to be sidelined for an unknown period of time. While Landeskog is out of the lineup, Artturi Lehkonen figures to move up to the top line, and Ross Colton could receive a boost in ice time as well. Furthermore, Taylor Makar, who was recalled from AHL Colorado on Friday, may also receive a longer look with the big club as a result of Landeskog's injury.

Devon Toews - Going to miss some time Head coach Jared Bednar said Sunday that Toews (upper body) is going to miss some time, according to Corey Masisak of The Denver Post.

Impact Toews was injured Saturday against the Hurricanes and missed his first game of the season Sunday versus the Panthers. Ilya Solovyov entered Sunday's lineup due to Toews' injury, and the former should receive consistent playing time on the third pairing while Toews is sidelined. Samuel Girard will likely continue to skate next to Cale Makar for the duration of Toews' absence.

Impact Landeskog lost an edge and crashed into the goalpost during the second period. Colorado's captain needed assistance leaving the ice and didn't come out for the start of the final frame. The Avalanche conclude their road trip Tuesday in Tampa Bay, and given the nature of his injury, Landeskog shouldn't be expected to suit up for that matchup.

The 25-year-old is up to seven goals, 13 points, 44 shots on net, 33 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating through 40 appearances, putting him on pace to challenge the career-best 27 points he had in 2023-24 with the Hurricanes.

For the season, Landeskog has seven goals, 22 points, 86 shots on net, 59 hits, 25 PIM and a plus-18 rating over 40 appearances, which is good durability and production considering he hadn't played since the 2022 playoffs.
