Artturi Lehkonen and Jesperi Kotkaniemi make a good puck-possession duo. In fact, Lehkonen and pretty much anyone else on the team makes a good puck-possession duo. Controlling shot attempts is simply what the Finnish winger does. He hunts, directs the puck to the outside, and steals it back.
It’s why most centres appreciate having him on their wing. He takes on the dirty work to allow his linemates to shine. He’s the first forward (F1) on the forecheck, and then the F1 in the defensive zone. In other words, Lehkonen plays the main role — the engager — in most defensive situations.
