Lehkonen Unlikely To Go Wednesday For Avalanche

Artturi Lehkonen is unlikely to play Wednesday, which is the kind of update that always changes a coach’s board before puck drop. Colorado knows what it loses when a versatile forward comes out of the lineup, because those players usually do the dirty work that never makes the highlight reel. The Avalanche will have to patch the gaps again, and that is never where a contender wants to spend its energy.
