2025 Fantasy Outlook
After missing the first 12 games of the 2024-25 season with injury, Lehkonen missed only one the rest of the season on his way to a 45-point campaign. That’s a good sign for the 29-year-old, who has battled the injuries his entire career. His 69 games is his most in a season since playing 74 in 2021-22. Had he played the whole season, he probably would’ve reached 30 goals instead settling for a career-high 27. An 18.2 shooting percentage indicates some regression might be coming, but Lehkonen has the enviable distinction of playing with Nathan MacKinnon at even strength and on the power play, which elevates Lehkonen’s ceiling significantly. If he can stay healthy for a full season, the versatile winger could reach the 30-goal plateau for the first time, but that’s a big ask for a player who has averaged 19 absences per season across the last four years.

Provides two points Tuesday
Lehkonen scored a goal on two shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Lehkonen earned both points during a three-goal second period for the Avalanche. He helped out on Martin Necas' opening tally 48 seconds into the frame before cleaning up the loose change from a Cale Makar shot at 14:42 of the period. Lehkonen was on the top line Tuesday and led all Avalanche skaters with 23:29 of ice time. As long as the Finnish winger is in that spot, he's in a good place to produce offense, but it wouldn't be surprising to see some mixing and matching in Colorado's top six throughout the year.

Despite being limited to 45 appearances in 2023-24, Lehkonen produced 16 goals, 18 assists, 103 shots on net and 12 power-play points. He sat out 35 games from Nov. 11-Jan. 20 due to a neck injury. Lehkonen missed another two outings because of an illness but racked up 13 tallies and 13 helpers in 33 contests following his extended absence. The 29-year-old forward has operated at about a 65-point pace over the last two seasons. However, he has been sidetracked by injuries and went into the offseason needing shoulder surgery following Colorado's second-round elimination in the playoffs. He might be available for the start of training camp, but he could be brought along slowly before Opening Night. Still, Lehkonen's upside is high for the 2024-25 campaign. He will likely continue to see playing time alongside Nathan MacKinnon, even if he begins some contests on the second line, and his role on Colorado's top power-play unit should be secure. His health will be the most important factor, but he is a worthwhile gamble for fantasy managers.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Unlikely to be available Wednesday
Lehkonen, who is dealing with a shoulder injury, was wearing a non-contact jersey ahead of Monday's practice and is unlikely to be available for Opening Night against the Golden Knights on Wednesday, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.
ANALYSIS
Lehkonen underwent shoulder surgery in May and resumed skating with his teammates in late August, but he didn't participate in any preseason games and will likely miss some time to begin the regular season. Head coach Jared Bednar indicated in mid-September that Lehkonen will likely be ready for game action shortly after he's cleared for contact, but a timetable for his return isn't yet known.
