Jonathan Lekkerimäki finds his footing with the Canucks
The 22-year-old winger has seven goals and 15 points through 20 games for Vancouver and credits his time with Abbotsford for helping him develop.
Jonathan Lekkerimäki has seven goals and eight assists through 20 games for the Vancouver Canucks. The 22-year-old winger scored on the power play in Monday’s 3–1 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers.
In an interview published by Hockeysverige on Nov. 7 and translated by Daily Faceoff on Friday, Lekkerimäki said moving between Vancouver and the AHL’s Abbotsford Canucks tested his patience and helped him become more consistent.
Lekkerimäki said he has played on Vancouver’s top power-play unit and credited head coach Manny Malhotra with making his expectations clear. Malhotra told the Canucks’ website that Lekkerimäki’s quickness along the boards helps the team keep possession on the power play.
