"It took a while for us to find out that a couple of the guys had tested positive, but from the conversations I've had, they are recovering well," the Avalanche captain said Tuesday on a video call arranged by the NHL.
One of the players tested positive for the coronavirus March 26 and the second tested positive a day later. The name of each player has not been revealed by Colorado.
All others within the Avalanche organization who might have had close contact with the players were informed and will remain isolated and in touch with the medical staff, per prior NHL direction.
"We've been apart since our last game, which was March 11 (at home against the New York Rangers), so right away, I know in our household we took it pretty seriously," Landeskog said. "For the major sports leagues to shut down (the NHL season was paused March 12), we realized it had to be pretty serious, so we stayed in Denver for five days and didn't see a single person."
Landeskog is now with his wife and five-month-old daughter in Toronto.
"We left Denver early since we weren't sure how travel restrictions would be affected, but we got to Toronto since my wife is from here," said Landeskog, wo is a native of Sweden. "Obviously, having my in-laws and things like that (in Toronto), it was pretty easy to make the decision and hang out here.
"We're doing good and seem to have been lucky. It's one of those things where you don't how serious it was going to be when the news came out the League was on pause, and I'm sure it was up to everybody at that point to kind of quarantine themselves.
"At the same time, single guys are kind of left on their own and living on their own with nothing to keep them busy, but I'm glad everyone is doing well and hoping everyone in Denver is staying safe and is healthy back there."
Landeskog, who is fourth on the Avalanche with 44 points (21 goals, 23 assists) in 54 games this season, has kept busy by playing cards and the dice game Yahtzee with his family. He said he is enjoying the extra time with his daughter, who he said is usually in bed by 8:30 or 9 p.m.
"I hope everyone is staying healthy and staying at home ... doing what you can with social distancing and taking this seriously," Landeskog said. "If we do, hopefully we can stop the spread and get back on the ice.
"Usually, when the world or country is going through a tough time or something happens, whether it's a natural catastrophe or whatever it might be, we as athletes have an ability to give people a break in their day and allow them to kind of get away from the real world for a couple of hours and cheer for their favorite team. We don't have that anymore, but hopefully everyone can stay positive and we can be back soon."
