Colorado Avalanche forward Artturi Lehkonen was transported to the hospital as a precaution after a head-first collision during Thursday's game against the Seattle Kraken . It was later announced that Lehkonen was 'alert, responsive and has full movement' in his body. Lehkonen was going after the puck and battling a couple of Kraken players. At one point, Seattle defenseman Jamie Oleksiak appeared to push Lehkonen. The Avalanche forward then fell towards the boards.
'He’s obviously one of the toughest guys on the team,' Makar said. 'He’s hard as nails. Especially when he doesn’t get up, you get a little worried, because it could be something a little more serious. . . . Hopefully, everything goes well, because obviously he’s a huge part for us.' The Avalanche went on to win Thursday's game. Through 12 games this season, Lehkonen has logged three goals and five assists.
