With Lekkerim?ki, 20, it will be interesting to see how he responds if he is back in the Abbotsford lineup when the team visits the Colorado Eagles on Friday and Saturday.?

The Vancouver Canucks’ first-round draft pick in 2022, who has been up with the big club already this season, missed the past three Abbotsford games with what is believed to be a concussion.?

There has been no timeline offered on Lekkerim?ki’s return to action. Ryan Johnson, who is both an assistant general manager with Vancouver and GM of Abbotsford, told Postmedia’s Ben Kuzma early last week that there are “just some precautionary days here, but he’s feeling good.”

Even with the games missed, the 20-year-old Lekkerim?ki is keeping the No. 1 position in our Canucks top-10 prospects power rankings this week. The right winger’s 14 goals have him tied for the Abbotsford team lead. Lekkerim?ki’s five game winners have him tied for fourth overall in the league, and he’s done all that despite playing just 24 games with Abbotsford to date.

Meanwhile, Mueller, 21, heads into this weekend with Abbotsford coming off being the club’s representative at the AHL All-Star Classic festivities in Palm Desert, Calif., which featured a skills contest on Sunday and a 3-on-3 tournament on Monday. Mueller and his Pacific Division mates made the tournament final.

Mueller wasn’t originally picked as an all-star, but got the nod as a replacement for defenceman Elias Pettersson, 20, after it became apparent Pettersson was sticking in Vancouver. Pettersson was called up Jan. 22. The AHL states the all-star rosters are picked by a committee of coaches, but it’s easy to suggest that the Canucks had ample input who was representing their side.

A centre who was picked in the 2023 fourth round by the Canucks, Mueller has seven goals and 22 points through 39 games this season.

“Just trying to be consistent,” Mueller told reporters about Abbotsford’s game Saturday. “I think that’s one of the biggest things … being someone who the coaches can trust, and for them to know that they have a guy who’s going to play the same way no matter what.”

That leads us to this week’s rankings, which continue to be a combination of trying to mesh both the short and long term. Players must be born in 2000 or later, and they’re not eligible for the poll when they’re with the big club. Last week’s rankings are in parenthesis.?
