Lehkonen had a goal on three shots and an assist in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Predators. He added one hit and two penalty minutes over 16:16 of ice time.
Lehkonen started a rare Montreal scoring binge, doggedly working at the puck in front of Juuse Saros for his first goal of the season 2:41 into the contest. He later helped out on the first of Ryan Poehling's two goals. Lehkonen has been hot of late, with a pair of two-point games and six points over the last seven, which is partially the reason why he's been promoted from the fourth line to the third. Lehkonen's TOI has increased from 13:10 per game over the first 16 games to 16:42 over the last four.
