Gabriel Landeskog, a forward for the Colorado Avalanche, is on an AHL conditioning stint as he recuperates from knee surgery. His status remains uncertain for the playoffs due to the day-by-day nature of his recovery. Meanwhile, the Edmonton Oilers are facing several injury challenges, including Leon Draisaitl sidelined by a lower-body injury for four games and Mattias Ekholm’s quick return to the lineup only to leave shortly after. Coach Kris Knoblauch has expressed caution regarding Stuart Skinner’s return as he recovers from injury. In other news, Brady Tkachuk missed practice for Ottawa, while Matvei Michkov is expected to suit up for Philadelphia despite missing practice for precautionary reasons.
