Gabriel Landeskog Out Indefinitely With Lower-Body Injury

(AP) — The Colorado Avalanche say captain Gabriel Landeskog is out indefinitely with a lower-body injury. The team announced the news Tuesday before practice.

Colorado's top line already is missing forward Mikko Rantanen after he suffered a lower-body injury last week.
