Avalanche's Artturi Lehkonen: Not likely for preseason games

Lehkonen (shoulder) is not expected to be a full participant during training camp or preseason games, Evan Rawal of Colorado Hockey Now reports.

Per Ryan Boulding of NHL.com, Lehkonen will be ready to return shortly after he's cleared for contact. The winger is recovering from a shoulder surgery. While he may miss most or all of the preseason slate, he should be good to go for a second-line role once he's ready to play.
