EDMONTON, ALBERTA — The Avalanche completed a road swing through western Canada with a 3-2 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday night.
Gabe Landeskog was excellent in his return to the lineup, scoring the game's first goal and also contributing an assist.
Landeskog showed the same willingness to play the body he had before serving his NHL suspension, jarring the puck loose on a bruising hit on Oilers defenseman Griffin Reinhart. Before the zone could be cleared, Carl Soderberg found the Avalanche captain alone in front of Laurent Brossoit and he swiftly tucked the puck around the rookie goaltender.
