Artturi Lehkonen and Martin Reway are having incredibly encouraging starts to the season.
Lehkonen is showing what a full summer of training can do for an athlete, by almost scoring at a point per game rate in SHL. Reway leads the Czech Extraliga in scoring, and is currently in talks with Sparta Prague for a contract extension.
The other European prospects are having mixed success. Joonas Nättinen is out; injured. Lukas Vejdemo is quietly settling in to life in the SHL, and Magnus Nygren contniues to show off his most deadly tool - his shot.
Nättinen is out with a lower-body injury and will be out for a few weeks more according to what I have been told.
