Artturi Lehkonen’s strong play will force interested teams to step up their offers

The Montreal Canadiens may have lost to the Vancouver Canucks 5-3 on Wednesday night (or Thursday morning), but Artturi Lehkonen had another great night with two goals and one assist for a three point night.

Lehkonen has always been seen as a great defensive player and was always generating chances but recently, more pucks have gone in the net. It’s making the decision on whether to trade him before the March 21 trade deadline easy on Canadiens general manager Kent Hughes.

Hughes recently spoke to Sportsnet’s Eric Engels, and Lehkonen specifically was brought up.
