Gabriel Landeskog - W - Colorado Avalanche
Jan. 16, 2013 - 9:10 AM ET

Gabriel Landeskog will make his debut as the Colorado Avalanche's team captain on Saturday.

Landeskog is entering his second season and only turned 20 in November. "C or no C, doesn't matter. He was a leader last year as an 18-year-old," said Giguere. "He's going to be a leader, no matter what, just by the way he works and the way he carries himself. But he's still (20), and from time to time he might need some help from the old geezers." Milan Hejduk, 36, decided to give up the captaincy last summer to help the team's transition to it's next generation.
