DENVER — Colorado Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog attended team meetings Tuesday and watched practice from the bench. His coach, however, says he's "not close" to becoming a participant. The 31-year-old Landeskog had cartilage replacement surgery on his right knee last May and is missing a second straight season. The Avalanche have one more regular season contest — Thursday against Edmonton — before starting a first-round playoff series with Winnipeg. Bednar said last month the team had a potential return date in mind for Landeskog — sometime in the playoff range — but nothing more concrete.
