The Avalanche captain received a hero's welcome from the Colorado crowd during his Wednesday return, including an incredibly sweet sign in the crowd held by his two children. We're sure of all the cheers for his long-awaited return, the two coming from his kids meant the most to Landeskog.

Gabriel Landeskog is back. The Colorado Avalanche captain hasn't played since the 2021-22 season due to issues with his right knee, but he'll return to the ice on Wednesday night in his team's Game 3 matchup in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs against the Dallas Stars.
