Artturi Lehkonen Skates For First Time Since Injury
11 months agoColorado Avalanche forward Artturi Lehkonen (neck) returned to optional practice on Friday. Lehkonen hasn't been cleared for contact yet after suffering a neck injury on November 9, but his return to the ice is an encouraging sign. The Finn had eight points (three goals, five assists) in 12 games this season before his injury, and should return to a top-six role and a spot on the powerplay when he returns. Whether or not he takes over the spot currently occupied by Valeri Nichushkin on the first line is up in the air, as the latter has been on fire since Lehkonen went down to injury. Either way, he is a solid stash option in fantasy.
