Arturri Lehkonen Rushed to Hospital After Terrifying Board Collision

A chilling scene unfolded in the second period of the game between the Colorado Avalanche and the Seattle Kraken last night. Artturi Lehkonen, former forward for the Montreal Canadiens, took a violent check from Jamie Oleksiak, falling headfirst into the boards. Number 62 remained sprawled on the ice for several seconds before inevitably having to leave the game.

The impact appeared so severe that the organization had no choice but to urgently transport Lehkonen to the hospital for further evaluation.

"Artturi Lehkonen was taken to a local hospital as a precaution for further examination. He is alert, responsive, and able to move freely. Lehkonen hit the boards headfirst after a collision with Jamie Oleksiak in the second period." - Peter Baugh

It's reassuring to hear that the former Canadiens player was alert during his hospital visit. However, there is a strong hope that he hasn't suffered a serious injury, especially considering his significant role in the Avalanche's success this season, tallying eight points in twelve games.

It's worth noting that he achieved a career high last year with an impressive total of 21 goals and 30 assists (51 points) in 64 games, reaching the 50-point milestone for the first time since his NHL debut.
