Colorado's forward and team captain Gabriel Landeskog says he will be seen on the ice this year, after two full seasons of injury absence due to a troublesome knee that has required several surgeries.

The Swede appeared at a golf tournament in Castle Pines where he played the entire course, reports Denver Post.

The 31-year-old former Djurgården player has been playing in Colorado since the 2011-2012 season, and he hopes to be part of the home premiere – although he doesn't dare promise it.

It's not so much about "if" anymore, but when. I haven't come this far to fool around, so I'm just trying to be patient all the way and check off all the boxes, he says to the newspaper.

You'll see me this year. I don't know if it's game one, ten or twenty.
