Scores in playoff opener Lehkonen scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Kings in Game 1.

Impact Lehkonen opened the scoring at 15:29 of the second period to break the deadlock in a tightly-defended game. The winger opened the postseason on the first line, but the Avalanche could mix and match around the top six at times. Lehkonen is no stranger to the playoffs, having won the Stanley Cup in 2022 with the Avalanche. This is eighth year in the postseason -- over his first seven playoff runs, he earned 26 goals and 21 assists in 78 contests.

Scores goal Tuesday Lehkonen scored a goal in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Flames.

Impact Lehkonen was uncertain to play Tuesday since he was dealing with an undisclosed injury, but he took part in warmups and ended up scoring one of the team's three goals. The 30-year-old winger scored for the first time this month, but it's uncertain whether he'll have a top-six role in the playoffs as well. Since returning from an 11-game absence in late March due to an upper-body injury, Lehkonen has posted six points (two goals, four assists) in his last 10 outings ahead of Thursday's regular-season finale against Seattle.

Landeskog scores go-ahead goal to help the Avalanche to a 3-1 win over the Flames

APRIL 15 • Associated Press

Expected to play versus Flames Lehkonen (undisclosed) is slated to be in the lineup Tuesday versus the Flames, Conor McGahey of Altitude TV reports.

Impact Lehkonen took warmups while Brock Nelson (undisclosed) didn't. With only 12 healthy forwards on the roster, it's safe to assume Lehkonen will be able to dress in this contest after sitting out Monday versus the Oilers. He should be in a top-six role.

Sitting out in Alberta Lehkonen (undisclosed) is not in the lineup for Monday's matchup in Edmonton.

Impact Lehkonen plays a very physical game, so he is presumably being rested Monday, as the Avalanche have already locked up the Presidents' Trophy. Ross Colton will slide into a top-six role in Edmonton due to Lehkonen's absence. The Finnish winger can be considered questionable to suit up in the second half of Colorado's back-to-back Tuesday in Calgary.

Earns two points in blowout win Lehkonen scored a goal on three shots and added an assist in Monday's 9-2 win over the Flames.

Impact Lehkonen has three points over three contests since he returned from an 11-game absence due to an upper-body injury. The winger was on the top line at even strength Monday and contributed both points in the third period after the Avalanche's top forwards were not part of a five-goal eruption in the opening frame. Lehkonen is now at 20 goals, 45 points, 141 shots on net and a plus-31 rating over 62 appearances, matching his point total from 69 regular-season outings a year ago.

Logs assist in return Lehkonen notched an assist in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Jets.

Impact Lehkonen was out of the lineup for 11 games due to an upper-body injury before making his return Thursday. The winger played on the second line but was limited to 12:06 of ice time, well below his average of 18:37 per game this season. The 30-year-old may be eased back in since the Avalanche are relatively healthy for once. Lehkonen has 19 goals, 43 points, 138 shots on net, 43 hits, 29 blocked shots and a plus-31 rating over 60 appearances this season.
