West Notes: Meyers, Landeskog, Carlsson

December 22, 2023 at 4:15 pm CDT | by Brennan McClain 5 Comments

For the second time in as many days, the Colorado Avalanche have sent forward Ben Meyers back down to their AHL affiliate, the Colorado Eagles. In the team’s victory last night against the Ottawa Senators, Meyers skated in just under six minutes of ice time, producing a -1 rating on the evening.

Before his call-up yesterday, Meyers had been rostered on the Avalanche from December 11th to December 20th, scoring one goal in four games, averaging just under 10 minutes of ice time over that stretch. Fortunately for Meyers, although taxiing back and forth from the AHL and NHL can be stressful, the Eagles’ home arena is only located about an hour north of Ball Arena in Denver.

It will likely not be the last time that Meyers is used as a depth forward stashed in the minor leagues throughout his career, as his tenure with the Avalanche has been largely unsuccessful since coming over from the University of Minnesota in 2022. Including this season, Meyers has spent three years in the Avalanche organization, scoring six goals in 49 games at the professional level.

Other notes:

  • Staying with Colorado, Kyle Fredrickson of the Colorado Gazette indicated that Avalanche captain, Gabriel Landeskog is very close to resuming skating. Even if Landeskog does return to the ice to resume skating, there will still be no way to guarantee his return to the NHL. After missing the last two regular seasons, including this year, the knee cartilage surgery underwent by Landeskog does not have any sort of track record on returning athletes to their respective sports.
  • Derek Lee of the Sporting Tribune reports standout rookie for the Anaheim Ducks, Leo Carlsson, is still undergoing tests on his right leg to determine the severity of the injury. In last night’s game against the Calgary Flames, defenseman MacKenzie Weegar awkwardly fell on Carlsson’s leg, which caused his right knee to collapse under the weight.

    It may be time to rethink the all hands on deck playoff mentality when it comes players playing injured in playoff game’s. It likely ended Landeskog’s career and that same Neanderthal philosophy took the Bruins right out of the first round of the playoffs. Bergeron, Lindholm, And Ullmark all played with serious injuries and it completely backfired!!!!!!

      Every team that has ever won the Cup also had players going with various levels of injury. By playoff team these guys are beat up. If you don’t want injured players in the lineup they will have to cancel the games.

    The surgery was undergone, not underwent, by Landeskog.
