The Swedish forward star is included from the beginning of the season for the first time since 2021, but it was not until the fifth match that the team captain got to write himself into the score protocol.
One knew that it was only a matter of time before it came, says Colorado coach Jared Bednar.
Landeskog made a comeback this spring after his almost three-year-long struggle with a knee injury. It became five playoff matches with Colorado where he made four points, one goal and three assists.
Colorado has started the season well, in five matches it has only been one overtime loss, against Dallas.
William Nylander has also started the season well. The 29-year-old played forward to both of Toronto's goals when New York Rangers were defeated 2–1 after extension.
He is a fierce passer, says Auston Matthews who made the decisive 2–1, about Nylander's pass.
Nylander is currently fourth in the scoring league with nine points, as many as the leading Jack Eichel and Kirill Kaprizov, but with fewer goals made.
