Playing career
Mikko Lehtonen appeared in his first National Hockey League game on October 7, 2006 with the Nashville Predators against the Minnesota Wild, and registered his first NHL goal in that game. The goal was scored only eight seconds into his first NHL shift, coming just one second short of tying the all time record set by Dave Christian.[citation needed]
On February 27, 2007 Lehtonen was traded to the Buffalo Sabres for a fourth-round pick in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft.[citation needed]
Having won the Finnish Championship for a third time playing for Kärpät, Lehtonen signed a one-year deal with Swedish team Timrå IK on June 9, 2008.[citation needed]
On May 6, 2009, Lehtonen confirmed that he had signed with Frölunda HC for the 2009-10 season.[1]
