In mid-March, Gabriel Landeskog was forced to undergo surgery to repair an injured knee.
When the Colorado captain would be back on the ice again was unclear, but the club hoped that the Swede would be available for the playoffs.
And so it became.
In Colorado's first game against Nashville, the 29-year-old made a comeback.
Colorado kicked off - 5-0 after the first period.
In the second period, it was time for Landeskog to enter the goal record.
Landeskog was also noted for an assist and Colorado eventually won 7-2.
