LAS VEGAS — Avalanche left wing and team captain Gabe Landeskog became a cemented franchise figure Monday night by playing his 600th NHL game at T-Mobile Arena. Landeskog, 27, scored a power-play goal in Colorado’s 7-3 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights.
“Six-hundred felt good,” Landeskog said of the Avs’ final game before the NHL’s mandatory three-day Christmas break. “No better way to do it than get a win.”
He added: “You want to be able to stay healthy and be part of the team and play a lot of games. I’ll trade my 600 regular-season for 600 playoff games, I’ll tell you that.
