Avalanche Lose Top Forward With Season-Ending Injury
In his first game back in Montreal, Arturri Lehkonen had a marvellous night, nothing two goals and an assist. Unfortunately, it was likely his last game of the regular season.
Lehkonen Breaks Finger
It was announced after the game that Arturri Lehkonen's finger was broken, and that he'd be headed back to Denver for surgery.
Broken fingers generally take six weeks to heal, which would line him up midway through the first round of the playoffs for a return.
In a season genuinely plagued by injury, the reigning cup champs have managed to stay in the playoff conversation. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like they'll be at their full potential come Game 1.
Luckily, Lehkonen managed to hit a milestone with 100 career goals tonight against the team with which he went to the Stanley Cup Finals.
An incredible night that ended in the worst possible way.
