Colorado Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog is expected to miss the entire 2023-24 season due to a knee cartilage transplant scheduled for May 10, the team announced Tuesday.

Landeskog already missed the entire regular season and Colorado's brief playoff run due to knee issues. He underwent surgery in March 2022 before returning to help the Avalanche win the Stanley Cup, then had another procedure in October. He was originally given a 12-week recovery timeline but never suited up.

The 30-year-old is in the second season of an eight-year, $56-million contract signed in 2021. He's spent his entire career with Colorado after being drafted second overall in 2011 and has racked up 571 points in 738 games.

Landeskog had a career year in 2021-22, registering 59 points in 51 regular-season games before adding 22 points in Colorado's dominant championship run.
