Artturi Lehkonen scores twice as Avalanche rout Flames 5-2

Fantasy hockey: Lehkonen's two-goal night produced numbers well above his recent averages, but elite underlying metrics suggest his scoring can hold.

Artturi Lehkonen scored twice on four shots in 15:48 of ice time as the Avalanche beat the Flames 5-2 on Saturday, October 31. The Colorado winger finished plus-three with one hit in a dominant performance.

His two points more than tripled his recent average of 0.69 per game, and his four shots nearly doubled his typical 2.3 per night. With underlying play that grades 94 out of 100 among forwards, his scoring pace looks sustainable even as he plays outside the top power-play unit.

Artturi Lehkonen

Lehkonen delivered 2.9 times his recent scoring average Saturday, well above the 0.69 points per game his model projects. His four shots doubled his usual 2.3 per night, and his plus-three rating reflected strong defensive impact. He plays 18:34 a night with 2:16 on the power play, though he ranks seventh among all Colorado skaters in power-play ice time and contributed no power-play goals in this contest.

His underlying play grades 94 out of 100 among forwards in shots, scoring chances and ice time, a read on how sustainable his scoring is. Those elite process metrics suggest his production can hold even at a lower rate than Saturday's outburst. Colorado has three games left this week, Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, giving him ample opportunity to build on this performance.

What to do

• Keep Lehkonen rostered in all formats, as his elite underlying metrics support consistent production.

• Start him with confidence through Colorado's three remaining games this week (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday).

• Monitor his shot volume, which should remain steady around 2.3 per game even when the goals come less frequently.
