Landeskog has not played since the Cup clincher at Tampa Bay on June 26, the end of the franchise’s third title run that he was a big part of with 22 points in 20 games. The 30-year-old Swede is motivated most by the desire to get back to hockey’s mountaintop. “I just have to do what’s right for my health and really, ultimately, do what I can so I’m able to go out there and play with the guys and continue chasing more Stanley Cups,” Landeskog said on a Zoom call Tuesday. He has not contemplated retirement and is confident he’ll be able to resume his career after a third procedure on the knee in roughly 14 months. Landeskog is set to undergo cartilage replacement surgery Wednesday, sidelining him for a second consecutive full NHL season and giving the longtime captain an uncertain path back. Now, he’s willing to take an extreme step to try to play hockey again. DENVER (AP) - Gabriel Landeskog may have sacrificed his injured right knee to hoist the Stanley Cup for the Colorado Avalanche.
