Jonathan Lekkerimäki scored two goals and added one assist on four shots in 19:55 of ice time as the Canucks beat the Ducks 6-5 in overtime Tuesday, October 27. The rookie winger finished plus-one with one hit in the win.

The performance stands well above his recent averages of 0.22 points, 0.8 shots and 11:18 a night. The jump in ice time to nearly 20 minutes, paired with three points, makes him a streaming option for managers chasing immediate production.

Lekkerimäki delivered his best outing by a wide margin Tuesday, recording three points and four shots while logging 19:55 of ice time against Anaheim. The two goals and one assist came at even strength, as he skates on the second power-play unit and saw 1:47 of power-play time per game in his recent sample. His plus-one rating and four shots on goal rounded out a strong all-around performance in the overtime thriller.

The near-20 minutes of ice time represents a dramatic increase from his usual 11:18 a night. He remains a second-unit power-play option, ranking seventh among all Vancouver skaters in power-play time. With the Canucks playing Thursday and Saturday, Lekkerimäki offers streaming appeal if the expanded role continues, though managers should monitor his ice time in the next game to confirm this was not a one-off opportunity.

What to do

• Stream Lekkerimäki in shallow formats if you need immediate scoring, especially with Vancouver playing Thursday and Saturday.

• Watch his ice time Thursday to see if the 19:55 represents a role change or a reward for strong play in one game.

• Add him in deeper leagues where his three-point, four-shot outing and increased minutes make him worth rostering through the weekend.
