Colorado Avalanche: Forward Gabriel Landeskog will be having surgery today on his right knee – a cartilage transplant. He is expected to miss the entire 2023-24 season.
- Bennett Durando: Landeskog: “I have not contemplated retirement at all.”
- Peter Baugh: Landeskog: “I’ve talked to numerous doctors and medical experts, getting opinions, learning about what the different procedures would be. This is the one we feel like is the best way forward, the best solution for me to come back and play hockey again.”
- Evan Rawal: Landeskog that the procedure has an 85 percent success rate but it’s an uncommon surgery for elite athletes. He talked to Lonzo Ball who had the surgery a few months ago.
- Marc Methot: “I had the same surgery performed on my left knee. It’s a brutal rehab process and mine never recovered to a point that made skating at the NHL level possible. However, I do wish him well and hopefully, he gets back to playing. I should add that Doctor Brian Cole (Chicago Bulls team Dr) performed the surgery on me as well.”
