In 24 games this season, Lekkerimaki has 16 points (ten goals, six assists), along with eight penalty minutes.
It's great to see Lekkerimaki heating up again, just as he's about to head off to join the Swedish U20 team for the 2024 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship, which gets underway on December 26th. Lekkerimaki will be joined by fellow Canucks prospects Tom Willander and Elias Pettersson on Sweden's roster and Canucks fans will be able to watch them all tournament long on TSN.
