Jonathan Lekkerimäki Earns Praise From Teammates Amid Strong Start

Vancouver Canucks forward Jonathan Lekkerimäki has posted a career-high seven points and three goals through 11 games this season. Linemate Jake DeBrusk praised the 22-year-old winger's confidence, overall growth, smart positioning, and lethal release, comparing his shot to David Pastrnak's. Lekkerimäki, a 2022 first-round pick, has logged over 70 even-strength minutes alongside DeBrusk and recently joined the Canucks' top power-play unit.
