Player Spotlight: Gabriel Landeskog

Landeskog was named the NHL's Second Star of the Week after leading the league with nine points (3g/6a) in four games last week. He recorded his 20th goal of the season against the Vancouver Canucks on Friday, the seventh time in his career that he has reached the mark. Landeskog's seven seasons with 20 or more goals ranks third in Avalanche history behind Joe Sakic and Milan Hejduk, who each did it 11 times. The Avalanche captain registered points in eight straight games from Feb. 22 through March 8, tallying 13 points (5g/8a) over that span, tied for the second-longest point streak of his career.

Quotable

"It was weird, first time in my career playing against an old team, I have never had that experience before. I am sure some extra nervousness I'd say maybe, and a lot of familiar faces on the ice against us tonight so it was a new experience for me. It was fun to see, there was still a lot of signs from the fans so that was good to see, and it was a special night." - Avalanche forward Joonas Donskoi on playing against his former team, the San Jose Sharks, at SAP Center for the first time
