3. Forward Artturi Lehkonen, despite being limited to 45 games last regular season, scored 12 high-danger goals, ranking in the 80th percentile of the NHL.
Lehkonen then scored three high-danger goals (92nd percentile) on 18 high-danger shots on goal (96th percentile) in the playoffs and also was a standout in offensive-zone time percentage (46.4; 91st percentile) in the postseason. Lehkonen has seen prime offensive usage and a spike in production ever since joining the Avalanche from the Montreal Canadiens in 2021-22.
With forward Valeri Nichushkin (NHL/NHL Players' Association Player Assistance Program) set to miss the start of the season after being suspended for a minimum of six months on May 13, Lehkonen will be relied upon even more heavily for secondary scoring.
