Landeskog to miss about 2 weeks with lower-body injury

The injuries continue to pile up for the Colorado Avalanche.

Gabriel Landeskog is expected to miss two weeks or so with a lower-body injury, head coach Jared Bednar announced Sunday.

The Avs captain suffered the injury during Friday's 7-3 win against the Detroit Red Wings.

Nazem Kadri, who missed Friday's contest, won't return Sunday versus the Florida Panthers after getting hurt against the New York Rangers on Wednesday.

Colorado will at least get one player back from injury against the Panthers, as goaltender Pavel Francouz just finished a conditioning stint in the AHL and is set to back up Darcy Kuemper for the first time this season.

Landeskog ranks second on the team with 27 points in 22 contests this season. Only four players on the roster have appeared in all 24 games - Tyson Jost, Erik Johnson, Logan O'Connor, and Darren Helm.
