RW Lenni Hämeenaho - Ässät U20, U20 SM-sarja (2023, 58th, NJD)

[Juzmo]

After a bit of a cold-streak he's gotten into the groove again with his line. A point in both of his previous two games, & today a goal, and two PP-assists (on the 3rd worst PP in the league) vs. the league-leading team.



Now in 34gp: 13g, 15a, +13, 179 shot attempts (1st by a forward), & 17:44 ATOI

After some more quieter more defensive games for him and the team (4gf in 3gp) had some success on the PP again:

 

[Juzmo]

Two goals and assists in his good showing vs the league-leading local rival in the outdoor back-to-back:



Primary assist (01:00) / Secondary assist (04:25) / Goal (07:54)



Goal (02:38)

5 goals & 8 assists in his last 12 games. An effective PP during this span (16/42, 38,1%) has helped, which has been itself helped with a healthier line-up.

Would also say he's had the least struggles on his line during this same stretch, with some solid playmaking, net drives and challenges, hitting, while recently also seemingly having a steadier looking one-timer (maybe slightly easing up on the power).

I really like Leeni in his draft year. Seemed like a really safe pick. I think he’s could be a really useful bottom-six player.

I had him ranked 45 his draft year but think he probably should’ve been a first rounder looking back.
