Lehtera suffered an upper-body injury in Thursday's game against the Rangers and won't return.

EDGE Analysis

While Lehtera hasn't been overly productive in a top-six role (27 points in 62 games), he's done enough to stabilize the line with Jaden Schwartz and Vladimir Tarasenko, and has given them opportunities to put the put past the goaltender (20 assists). David Backes reportedly moved up to center the line in his place, and may do so should Lehtera miss time beyond Thursday. His next chance to return comes Saturday against the Predators, so expect an update sometime before then.
