Halfway through his second season with the Phantoms, Lehtivuori was loaned out to KalPa of the SM-liiga.[3] On August 18, 2011, Lehtivuori signed a one-week try-out contract with the Modo Hockey of the Elitserien (SEL).[4]

Lehtivuori played three seasons with HPK in the Liiga, before opting to leave as a free agent to sign a two-year contract with German outfit, Adler Mannheim of the DEL, on April 13, 2018.[5]
