LATEST | Bad news for Canucks' top prospect Jonathan Lekkerimaki: Officially moved down on the lineup

A coaching change in Örebro HK could be bad news for Jonathan Lekkerimäki.

Former Canuck goalie Johan Hedberg was fired from the team this week and replaced by Niklas Eriksson.

The change hasn't been a great start for the Vancouver Canucks first rounder from 2022, who was moved down to the third line.




The 19 year old has 10 goals and 7 assists in 27 games, good for 4th place on a team filled with mostly much older players.

Lekkerimäki was used favourably by his old coach and has responded well, so hopefully this coaching change doesn't impact his strong D+2 season.
