Artturi Lehkonen was very unlucky this season, but despite that, there were plenty of positives to his year. Such a refrain has become entirely too familiar this off-season, as we have gone through the player reviews, but it is no less true.
Despite only putting up 12 goals and nine assists for 21 points in 66 games, Lehkonen’s development has in no way regressed. Always reliable on both sides of the puck, the Finnish forward elevated his game everywhere but on the scoreboard.
Quietly reaching elite levels in a number of areas such as high-danger scoring chances, Lehkonen has not only stepped up his own game, but has elevated the numbers of his teammates at even strength.
