Canadiens Trading Lehkonen to the Avalanche Saved His Career - The Hockey Writers Colorado Avalanche Latest News, Analysis & More
Artturi Lehkonen showed promising signs of becoming a bonafide top-six scoring winger after an 18-goal rookie season with the Montreal Canadiens in 2016-17. This was following him becoming the highest-scoring Finnish-born player in his age-20 Swedish Hockey League (SHL) season, and he was quickly rising the ranks of the influx of young Canadiens players. Unfortunately, his progression stalled and he never topped 13 goals in a single season wearing a Canadiens uniform. While he remained a vital presence in the team's middle-six, and famously scored the overtime goal in the 2021 playoffs to send the team to their first Stanley Cup Final since 1993, his production never lived up to what fans had been hopeful for after that encouraging debut campaign.
