Prospect Update: Artturi Lehkonen shines in first-place battle, scores yet another goal

An update on Thursday's SHL performances of two of the Habs' most promising prospects.

Artturi Lehknen

In yesterday's game between Frölunda and Skellefteå — one and two in the SHL standings, respectively — Artturi Lehkonen's strong play was on offer once again.

He got going with a good hit in on the forecheck, and finished with a total of four hits in the game. He then showed his defensive awareness and maturity on the penalty kill when he broke up a cross-ice pass to the point, reading the play very well, and giving his linemates a chance for a change.
