Between the lines: Landeskog has been sidelined since the 2021-22 season while recovering from a right knee injury.
Why it matters: He played a critical part in Colorado's 2022 Stanley Cup title and his return could reignite the team's title aspirations.
State of play: Denver is currently up 1-0 in their first round playoff series against the Stars.
Flashback: Landeskog hasn't played with the Avs since the last game of the Stanley Cup Final against the Tampa Bay Lighting on June 26, 2022.

NHL head-coaching ranks littered with Mass. natives, including first-year Penguins boss Dan Muse
'I remember getting into Suffolk Law,' said Muse, reached by telephone, 'and I walked out of the open house and I decided I wasn't going to go to law school — I wanted to coach hockey. Honestly, it was because I loved teaching, and loved being in the classroom, and I was always very passionate about hockey. I just decided I wanted to teach hockey full time.' Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Muse, 43, is now charged with teaching the Penguins how to become Stanley Cup contenders again. He brings some 20 years of coaching experience to the Steel City. Only weeks after graduating from Stonehill, where he compiled a modest 5-6–11 line in his four Division 3 seasons, he began his long path to a top job in the NHL by being one of Paul Cannata's assistant coaches at Milton Academy. Related : Advertisement Some 20 years later, after building a coaching dossier that included a long stint at Yale as one of Keith Allain's assistants, and similar NHL tours assisting fellow Bay Stater Peter Laviolette with the Predators and Rangers, Muse finally landed his first top NHL job with the Penguins. Advertisement 'I don't think that crossed my mind the day I got my diploma at Stonehill,' said Muse, chuckling as he noted the 'journey' that led him to where he is today. 'But I wouldn't change anything. All these experiences have added up and I feel very fortunate. Even going back to Stonehill, I had to work really hard just to play college hockey there, in any capacity. I wouldn't trade that for anything. It's all part of my experience and my journey.' Muse, whose parents moved the family to Canton when he was in the eighth grade, will enter this season as one of three Bay State boys directing NHL benches. Marshfield's Mike Sullivan, the two-time Cup-winning coach Muse is succeeding in Pittsburgh, is about to begin his new gig as the Rangers' coach. Ryan Warsofsky, once a Marshfield High defenseman, will be back for a third season as the Sharks' bench boss. Warsofsky this spring In only his fourth season of coaching, Muse was an assistant at Sacred Heart University. One of his defensemen: Warsofsky. A modest Uber fee would cover the trip from Muse's boyhood home in Canton to the Sullivan and Warsofsky childhood homes in Marshfield. 'It's such a small world,' said Muse. 'And I'm so happy for Ryan. It's been so cool to see his journey, and we've been able to stay in touch. We've seen each other after games, and he sent me a text right after I got this job. I've done the same after the great accomplishments he's had — he is such a great person from a great family; really cool to see his journey, too.' Advertisement A property of the Fenway Sports Group, the Penguins, with an aging roster, in 2024-25 missed the playoffs for a fourth consecutive season, leading to Sullivan's dismissal. They are a long way from the powerhouse days when Sulivan led them to back-to-back Cup titles in 2016 and '17. Muse will take over amid the Penguins' longest playoff drought since 2003-06. As a rookie bench boss, he'll be charged with reshaping the efforts of a lineup that includes veteran headliners Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Kris Letang, and Erik Karlsson. That would be a daunting task for a new guy with, say, a decade or more as the guy calling the shots. How will Muse approach the task? By being the same guy, he said, that he's been for the 20 yeas that led him to this opportunity. 'I kind of took that approach going through the interview process,' said Muse, who was hired by GM Kyle Dubas, ex- of the Maple Leafs' front office. 'I've taken that approach as I've continued to meet with [the players]. It's the same approach I'll take with everything I'll do moving forward — I feel very humbled and very blessed to have this opportunity, but I also walk into it knowing that I was presented this opportunity through a process where I was myself. So, why change? Why do anything different?' Noting his respect for players who've been with the Penguins a long time — 'Iconic players,' he said, 'like Crosby and Malkin and Letang, along with guys like [Bryan] Rust and [Rickard] Rakell and Karlsson and everyone else' — he simply wants to keep getting better. Advertisement 'I'm not going to change what got me here,' Muse added. 'That's been my approach and it seems to work, so I'll keep being myself.' Kevin Paul Dupont can be reached at
