Gabriel Landeskog is easily one of the best players in the league when he is healthy, although the Colorado Avalanche have been without him for the better part of two seasons.

Overall, this is because Landeskog has been dealing with a gnarly injury to his right knee. It is one of those injuries that is hard to shake and it has required some pretty significant surgeries. For instance, he got a cartilage transplant, which typically would spell the end of someone's career.

However, Landeskog is a fighter and he is promising fans that he will come back strong. Corey Masisak of the Denver Post reported that Landeskog confirmed he will return this season. Although, it still remains to be seen when the exact date will be.

Over the weekend, we reported on how Landeskog had been on the ice, warming up his leg. While he certainly wasn't going full speed, he definitely appeared to be doing a whole lot better than before. Meanwhile, his coach seemingly believes that he will be back in time for the start of the year.

Once again, there are no guarantees right now. At the end of the day, Landeskog will simply have to do things at his own pace. Hopefully, he can get back to where he used to be, sooner rather than later.
