Avalanche's Gabriel Landeskog: Carries the offense against Buffalo

Landeskog scored twice and added an helper in Saturday's win over the Sabres.

Analysis:

It was a much-needed offensive explosion from Landeskog, who had gone five straight games without recording a point. The 24-year-old has been up and down this season, posting 13 goals and 26 points in 50 games. He's gone on tears, but the team's struggles this season have hindered his ability to post strong totals overall. The captain is very talented, but don't expect a surge down the stretch given the team's position in the standings.
