ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Colorado Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog sees a much clearer path back to the ice even if he’s not expected to play this season.That’s how encouraged he is 4 1/2 months removed from cartilage replacement surgery on his right knee. Coach Jared Bednar is just as optimistic, which is why he won’t name a new captain for the upcoming season. The team will wait until Landeskog’s return and in the meantime rely on the leadership of Cale Makar, Nathan MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen.“First and foremost, I feel really good,” Landeskog said Wednesday on the eve of training camp. “It’s been a really good process so far. It’s been obviously hard at times and other times you make more progress than not.” Still, with hockey starting up, it’s been a little difficult. He’s yet to start skating, and may not get clearance until a visit with his surgeon in November. “It sucks not being a part of it,” Landeskog said. “But I think having...

He missed last week’s loss at Tampa Bay after working the opener against Green Bay.Chicago-based attorney Andrew M. Stroth insisted Williams resigned for health and famil...
