ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) - For his NHL debut, Colorado Avalanche forward Gabriel Landeskog has a few family members flying in from Sweden.
Oh, and his boyhood idol, too. Only that's just a coincidence.
On the night when Landeskog launches his career, former Avalanche great Peter Forsberg will be in the building to have his sweater retired.
That's why the butterflies are already brewing for Landeskog. He's nervous enough about taking the ice for his inaugural faceoff against the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday night.
