Colorado Avalanche News
Landeskog speaks to media, says he feels good, could go on weekend California road trip.
The Avs could use the services of their young captain as they have struggled without him. Monitor his status in the next couple days to see if he will be in the lineup against Los Angeles, Anaheim or San Jose.
Gabe Landeskog back at practice with #Avs. Orange jersey on though
Landeskog hasn't played since January 26th when he was hit hard by Sharks defenceman Brad Stuart and suffered multiple injuries. The Avalanche need him back but aren't going to rush their young captain. It appears as if he is still at least a week away from returning.
Parise said he's feeling better and is expected to play when the Wild and the Nashville Predators meet at 7 p.m. Saturday at the Xcel Energy Center.
Good news as the illness may have been affected Parise's poor play over the Wild last couple games.
Brent Burns was paired with Brad Stuart today at practice.
Burns had been skating as an extra at practice but was paired with Stuart today which indicates he is nearing a return. He could suit up tomorrow for the Sharks, but nothing is official. Check back tomorrow for an official word on Burns.
Burns was a regular at Sharks practice today (Not wearing non-contact jersey).
Burns still isn't quite ready for a return but should be back in the next couple of weeks.
Landeskog did not skate with Avs this morning. Won't play tonight
This will be the second game in a row that Landeskog has missed due to injuries sustained on the big hit he took from Sharks defenceman Brad Stuart.
Brent Burns skates again for the Sharks.
Still no timetable for Burns return, but the fact that he is skating again is a step in the right direction.
Sharks defenseman Brent Burns is skating again, but did not offer a timeline as to when he could return to the lineup.
Burns continues to rehab, but when he will be back on the ice is unknown. The Sharks are on a tear right now so I don't foresee them rushing Burns back and risk him re-injuring himself. For now just monitor his status going forward, and pick him up accordingly if he is still available.
