Recently, in a match against the Seattle Kraken, Artturi Lehkonen, a player for the Colorado Avalanche, suffered a severe injury following a bad fall where he hit the boards head first.
At the time, his coach, Jared Bednar, announced that Lehkonen would be out for an indefinite period, which was not a good sign.
However, new details have emerged from Artturi's father, Ismo Lehkonen, who mentioned that his son is still wearing a cervical collar to stabilize his neck, two weeks after the worrying injury.
Thus, it appears that Lehkonen was fortunate to avoid irreversible damage, but he is still in a poor condition at the moment.
