Jonathan Lekkerimäki Scouting Report

His last ten game segment, before sustaining a season ending injury, produced (3g - 5a). He was being used at even strength and the power-play and finally playing to his identity and strengths. When he is pushing the play, through the neutral zone with the puck on his stick, he has the ability to create offense. On the power-play he can be dangerous working off the back door flank - one timing or catching and releasing pucks to the net aggressively. There is no question his element is offense. The rest of his game needs to evolve if he is going to be an NHL point producer. He needs more interior drive and secondary battle in all three zones.
