• By March 2026, reports described Landeskog as week-to-week with a lower-body injury, suggesting some improvement but still not a definite return timeline ahead of the Avalanche' postseason push. [Source: USA Today / multiple outlets, March 2026][9]

• Through early May 2026, several outlets noted that Landeskog had not played since his knee issues persisted since 2022-23, with ongoing rehab updates typical for a player returning from long-term knee rehab. While there were encouraging signs in individual practices or warmups, a return to game action during the current season remained uncertain.
