Three-quarters of the way through the 2015-16 season, the Colorado Avalanche sit in fourth place in the Western Conference’s Central Division. Captain Gabriel Landeskog is third on the team in goals scored (14) and assists (24).

FANCY STICK WORK

Landeskog recently followed on the heels (skates?) of Detroit Red Wings left winger Tomas Tatar and Pittsburgh Penguins center Evgeni Malkin in demonstrating his stickhandling skills while wearing a GoPro helmet cam.

Early in the video, the six-foot-one left winger successfully targets the camera atop the goal with a slap shot. Pieces of plastic go flying, nonetheless the camera continues recording.

MODEL CITIZEN

Landeskog’s favored female is Torontonian Mel Shouldice, a recent graduate of the University of Guelph in Ontario.

SHIRTLESS SWEDISH CHEF

In 2012, Landeskog became the youngest ever captain in NHL history at 19 years, 286 days of age. Years from now, when he decides to hang up his skates, the fun-loving Swede will have no trouble securing a Cooking Channel show featuring shirtless pancake making.
