Brock Nelson was assigned the alternate captain role for the Colorado Avalanche on Jan. 6 after captain Gabriel Landeskog was injured. It would have gone to Devon Toews, but he was injured in the game before Landeskog.
The title will likely go to Toews when he returns, but that is yet to be determined. When Landeskog returns, the hierarchy will resume with him, Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar.

Nelson has been part of the leadership group on and off the ice, making him an obvious choice.
“We got a lot of guys that it could go on that have an influence in our room,” head coach Jared Bednar said. “For me, it’s his play. He’s leading by example every night.”
This is not the first time the 34-year-old forward has worn the letter for a team. He shared alternate captaincy for five seasons as part of the New York Islanders. He was also awarded the honor for Team USA in the 2017 IIHF World Championship and the 2025 4 Nations Face-Off.
Nelson’s performance and production have gradually improved this season. He has 38 points in 45 games, with eight multi-point outings. He has been held scoreless in only two of the last 10 games and leads the team in power-play goals (8).
Bednar explained his decision to give Nelson the duty in the video above. You can also watch the full practice conference on the Fer Puck’s Sake YouTube channel.
