  "account": "Colorado Avalanche goalie Mackenzie Blackwood encourages aspiring NHL players to study the performance of Artturi Lehkonen. Lehkonen, who scored his 15th goal of the season, helped the Avalanche defeat the Montreal Canadiens 4-1 without injured stars Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar. The 31-year-old Finn, who now has 21 points in 21 games, is on pace to exceed his career highs of 27 goals and 51 points. Lehkonen's precision, competitiveness, and ability to score in high-pressure situations make him a role model for young players.",
