Artturi Lehkonen, LW, Colorado Avalanche (44.7% available): Coming back at just the right time, Lehkonen finds himself the bell of Ball Arena. The Avs might still be without Jonathan Drouin (though he is getting close), definitely will be without Valeri Nichushkin and Gabriel Landeskog for most of November, and lost Ross Colton for the month. Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar and Mikko Rantanen are generating tons of fantasy points and they need help. Lehkonen, at least for most of the month, should be a top-tier option thanks to his near-lock status for playing time with the king-makers.
