Nothing too major, but thought he was quite a bit better overall in the 3-1 win today compared to the previous games, but despite all the chances etc. no points.

Lenni goal!
A long pass from Järvinen to the front of the net. Puck trickles to the goal-line from Lenni's shot through the goalie and he puts it in from there.
Edit. Another angle

Doesn’t get a pt on the 2nd goal but I think his movement in front of the net froze the goalie. Lenni was battling in front of the net and the puck came to a guy at the top of the left circle. They started walking down the wall with it and Lenni spun off the D covering him to get open back door. Lenni’s teammate with the puck then threw one towards the net. I think the goalie was anticipating it being a backdoor pass to Lenni. Instead it ended up being a really bad 5 hole goal

Breaks the tie with 6 minutes left with a PPG. Shot from the left dot leaks through the five hole and goes in. Gets him back up to PPG now too

Lenni POWERPLAY goal!
3-2 late in the third period. Low shot from the face-off-dot with a good screen in front.

Creates a 2 on 1 rush in OT where they’re stopped. He came away with the puck off a scramble at his own net front. For some reason 2 guys followed Lenni go behind his own net. Lenni and Jarvinen off to the races on a 2 on 1. Lenni sends it over to Jarvinen and it’s stopped

Actually that was defenseman Joona Riekkinen with him on that one. The guy who right after scored his 10th goal in 271 Liiga games from Järvinen's pass, while Lenni was there on the ice on the fourth goal also.
Nice burst of speed at the red line. Looks bigger then the 6' 173lb listed on hockey db. I know it's the finnish league, but he's the biggest guy on the ice for his team by a stretch.
Playing net front on the PP in another highlight above. Which at 19 is noteworthy for a guy who wasn't necessarily noted as a "power forward" pre draft.
And the speed was definitely not on the predraft/postdraft scouting report.

Can't help wondering if there is something to see in Erholtz as a UFA. He's in his sixth season and will be 25 when camp starts next summer.
But is he just putting up numbers because he's playing with Hameenaho or would he be a relatively inexpensive free agent worth pursuing?

Nah, he's putting up points because of Järvinen, but is an important part of that line in terms of grinding, space creation and overall two-way play.
Could definitely see him as a potential bottom sixer if he can keep up with the physical side of NA. He's quite athletic and an eager hitter as well, but you never know beforehand how big the transition across the pond is to some.

The Liiga site & EliteProspects have him at 6'1 185lb. On the taller side on the team with the current goalie duo, three regulars, and the 6'7 irregular 4th line guy being above him. And yeah definitely holding his own with the physical side of things.
Obviously Lenni being more consistently involved in addition to Järvinen playing on the level he is are helping, with also him having some PP results early on. Though if he were to have a big year (maybe with an extra scoring touch he's lacked some before) with then for example a nice finish in the WC* giving NA a go could be possible to try to become a good 4th liner. Not sure if on the Devils though.
*Has gotten some national team games in the EHT tournament before, and from what I remember looked good there on the bottom six as a hustling and grinding energy guy.
