Forget whether Artturi Lehkonen is a pure scorer or playmaker; his career 0.25 G/game and 0.26 A/game highlight a balanced offensive game, but it's his exceptional +85 plus/minus that truly defines him. He is the ultimate two-way engine, logging heavy minutes because he's the player trusted to silence an opponent's top line *and* still find the game-changing goal when it matters most.
Lehkonen is on an undeniable tear, more than doubling his season pace with an elite shot percentage. This isn't noise; he's finding the net consistently and dominating right now.
Up from 42 to 75 in his last 5 games — top 5% of forwards, against an average forward at 27.
Now 75 · +56 over these 14 games
8 points and 6 goals in 5 games — 1.3× his usual pace, and 3.1× what an average forward scores in 5 games.
