Ryan Boulding: Avs coach Jared Bednar on Gabriel Landeskog.
“I don’t know if you can call it . That’s what I said on . I think there’s ups and downs throughout the course of his rehab, especially now, when he’s feeling better and getting closer to play. He’s pushing himself into different areas, and sometimes he reacts well and moves on to the next thing, and then the next thing might not feel great for him. … And so right now, he’s continuing his work and in the gym every day, and he’ll get back on the ice soon.”
