Artturi Lehkonen - NHL News & Rumors

Expect to play in Game 1 Lehkonen (upper body) is slated to suit up in Game 1 versus Vegas on Wednesday, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Lehkonen looks set to step back into a second-line role after having missed the Avs' last two games due to his upper-body problem. In addition to his five-on-five spot, the winger should link up with the No. 2 power-play unit as well. Prior to his absence, Lehkonen had generated three goals and three helpers in his previous seven tilts.

Considered day-to-day Lehkonen (upper body) is dealing with a day-to-day injury, according to Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette on Tuesday.

Impact Lehkonen sat out Monday's 5-2 win over Minnesota after sustaining the injury in Game 3's 5-1 loss to the Wild on Saturday.

Not available for Game 4 Lehkonen (upper body) is not in the lineup for Game 4 against the Wild on Monday, per Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette.

Impact Lehkonen logged 15:30 of ice time in Saturday's Game 3 loss, his lowest total since Game 1 against the Kings in the first round, so it's possible he was injured at some point during that matchup. Gabriel Landeskog will slide up to the top line alongside Nathan MacKinnon and Martin Necas due to Lehkonen's absence. Lehkonen should be considered day-to-day ahead of Game 5 in Colorado on Wednesday.

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.

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.
