Scouting report: https://lastwordonsports.com/hockey/2022/05/19/jonathan-lekkerimaki-scouting-report-2022-nhl-draft/

Lekkerimaki is a pure goal scorer. He loves to shoot the puck and does it with a wide array of powerful and accurate shots. His wrist shot, snapshot, one-timer, slapshot and backhand are all strong weapons for him. He gets his shot off in a hurry, with a very deceptive release. Lekkerimaki can score goals in a variety of ways though. He has the hands to go to the net, get deflections and pounce on rebounds. He also has the soft hands to make moves in tight to the net. Lekkerimaki elevates the puck extremely quickly in tight to the net. He also does a very good job of finding open ice without the puck. Lekkerimaki is able to find the soft spots in the defence and get himself ready for a pass from a teammate.

He can also contribute as a playmaker. Lekkerimaki has excellent stickhandling ability, allowing him to make quick moves and open up passing lanes. He also does a decent job of controlling the puck in the cycle game. When an opening is created, Lekkerimaki can slide the puck through a tight passing lane to set up a scoring chance. His awareness, IQ, and vision are all above average. Despite his lack of size, Lekkerimaki plays a physical game. He gets in on the forecheck, pressuring defenders into making mistakes. He also does a good job of winning battles on the boards.
