  • Hurricanes' Mikko Rantanen: Gets 4 Nations goal in Finnish win

    Rantanen scored a goal for Finland in a 4-3 overtime win over Sweden on Saturday at the 4 Nations Face-Off in Montreal.

    Rantanen cashed in on a power play with 14 seconds left in the first period. He took a cross-ice pass from Patrik Laine and nearly flubbed the shot. The puck wobbled and fluttered but still went past Swedish starter Filip Gustavsson to give Finland a 2-1 lead. Rantanen came into the tourney on a three-game scoring drought and has just two points (one goal, one assist) in six games in his new NHL jersey.

  • Hurricanes' Mikko Rantanen: Slated to play for Team Finland

    Rantanen (lower body) is on his way to Montreal and is expected to play for Team Finland in the 4 Nations Face-Off tournament, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet on Sunday.

    Rantanen missed Saturday's game against Utah, but his ailment was seemingly a minor one. His availability is crucial for a Finland squad that will be without star blueliner Miro Heiskanen (knee). The Finns will face Team USA on Thursday.

  • Hurricanes' Mikko Rantanen: Unavailable Saturday

    Rantanen (lower body) won't play against Utah on Saturday.

    Rantanen sustained the injury from blocking a shot in Thursday's 2-1 loss to Minnesota. He has generated one goal, one assist and 21 shots on net in six games with the Hurricanes after being acquired from Colorado on Jan. 24. Due to Rantanen's absence, Carolina will dress 11 forwards and seven defensemen in Saturday's lineup, with Scott Morrow drawing back in after being a healthy scratch in Thursday's defeat.

  • Hurricanes' Mikko Rantanen: Pots first goal with new team

    Rantanen scored his 26th goal of the season in Thursday's 3-2 win over Chicago.

    His first goal with Carolina came on a counterattack early in the second period, as Rantanen took a drop pass from Jack Roslovic before going five-hole on Arvid Soderblom. Rantanen has two points over three games since the trade from the Avalanche, and his scoring pace should pick up once he gets more comfortable in his new system and Carolina's roster gets back to full strength -- both Sebastian Aho and Taylor Hall were sidelined due to an illness Thursday.

  • Hurricanes' Mikko Rantanen: Nabs first Carolina point

    Rantanen picked up an assist in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Rangers.

    Acquired from the Avalanche late last week, Rantanen collected his first point as a member of the Hurricanes in his second game for his new squad, flipping a pass to Andrei Svechnikov past a sprawling Igor Shesterkin for an easy tap-in late in the second period. Rantanen appears to be developing chemistry with his new teammates quickly, and even though he's no longer skating with Nathan MacKinnon, the 28-year-old still figures to thrive as one of the focal points of the Carolina offense. Through 51 appearances this season, Rantanen has 25 goals and 65 points.

  • Hurricanes' Mikko Rantanen: Involved in massive trade

    Rantanen was traded to the Hurricanes from the Avalanche via the Blackhawks in a three-way deal Friday, Emily Kaplan of ESPN reports.

    Rantanen is the biggest player in the trade, but it's a blockbuster on multiple levels. The pending unrestricted free agent goes from riding alongside Nathan MacKinnon in Colorado to a spot alongside countryman Sebastian Aho in Carolina. Chicago was involved in the trade to retain 50 percent of Rantanen's cap hit to make the money work for the Hurricanes. Additional aspects of the trade will see Taylor Hall join Rantanen in Carolina, while Martin Necas and Jack Drury head to Colorado. The Blackhawks will also get their own third-round pick in 2025 back after dealing it away in a previous trade, while the Avalanche will get a second-round pick in 2025 and a fourth-round pick in 2026, per Kaplan.

  • Avalanche's Mikko Rantanen: Plucks apple Wednesday

    Rantanen produced an assist and four shots on goal in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Jets.

    Rantanen set up a Cale Makar tally in the third period, which ultimately forced overtime. The 28-year-old Rantanen has gone six games without a goal but still has four assists in that span to remain moderately productive. He was back on the top line Wednesday, which is a good sign for his productivity moving forward. Rantanen has 25 goals, 39 helpers, 135 shots on net, 28 PIM, 27 hits and a plus-12 rating over 49 outings.

  • Avalanche's Mikko Rantanen: Provides assist in loss

    Rantanen notched an assist, two blocked shots and two PIM in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Oilers.

    Rantanen helped out on a Logan O'Connor goal in the first period. The 28-year-old Rantanen has six goals and four helpers over 10 contests since the holiday break. He took a turn as the second-line center Thursday, a move the Avalanche haven't used often this season. It's possible he'll be in that spot for a while given Casey Mittelstadt's ongoing struggles. Rantanen is at 25 goals, 37 assists, 127 shots on net and a plus-10 rating over 46 appearances. In any usage, Rantanen figures to see top-six minutes and plenty of power-play time.

  • Avalanche's Mikko Rantanen: Draws helper in overtime win

    Rantanen notched an assist, four shots on goal and two PIM in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Rangers.

    Rantanen set up Artturi Lehkonen for the game-tying goal late in the third period. The 28-year-old Rantanen began the game on the second line as head coach Jared Bednar looked to spark an offense that has run a tad inconsistent in January. The star winger is doing his part with four goals and three assists over seven outings this month, and he's up to 25 goals, 36 helpers, 127 shots on net and a plus-11 rating through 45 contests overall.

  • Avalanche's Mikko Rantanen: Reaches 60-point mark

    Rantanen scored a goal on three shots, dished an assist and went plus-3 in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Wild.

    Rantanen's goal stretched the Avalanche's lead to 3-1, and he also helped out on a Nathan MacKinnon tally in the third period. The 28-year-old Rantanen saw a 14-game point streak (nine goals, 14 helpers) end in Chicago on Wednesday, but has been held off the scoresheet in consecutive contests just once this year. That consistency has helped him reach the 60-point mark (25 goals, 35 assists) while adding 120 shots on net and a plus-13 rating through 43 outings this season.

  • Avalanche's Mikko Rantanen: Deposits empty-netter

    Rantanen scored an empty-net goal on three shots in Monday's 3-1 win over the Panthers.

    Rantanen put the finishing touches on the win and extended his scoring streaks in the process. He has a goal in five straight games -- three of which have been empty-netters -- and he's earned nine goals and 14 assists during a 14-game point streak that started Dec. 7. The 28-year-old winger is up to 24 tallies, 58 points (18 on the power play), 117 shots on net and a plus-10 rating through 41 outings overall, putting him on pace for a career year and his third consecutive 100-point campaign.

  • Avalanche's Mikko Rantanen: Tallies on power play

    Rantanen scored a power-play goal on seven shots and had a block in Saturday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Canadiens.

    Rantanen was left unattended near the post and redirected a feed from Nathan MacKinnon to put Colorado up, 1-0, nine minutes into the game. It was his fourth consecutive game with a goal and second straight with a power-play tally. Rantanen leads the Avalanche in both goals (23) and power-play markers (eight). The seven shots on net give him 123 for the season.

  • Avalanche's Mikko Rantanen: Scores, assists in OT win

    Rantanen recorded a power-play goal and an even-strength assist in Thursday's 6-5 overtime win over the Sabres.

    Even though Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar earn most of the praise for their impressive season, it's impossible to overlook what Rantanen has been doing for the Avs. His current point streak has reached 12 games following this impressive outing, and he's tallied 21 points over that stretch, putting up seven goals and 14 helpers. On the season, Rantanen is up to 56 points in 39 games (22 goals, 34 assists) and shouldn't have problems reaching the 100-point plateau for a third straight campaign. He forms one of the league's most dynamic offensive duos with MacKinnon.

  • Avalanche's Mikko Rantanen: Another empty-netter extends streak

    Rantanen scored an empty-net goal on five shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Jets.

    For the second game in a row, Rantanen kept his point streak alive with an empty-netter. He ended December with points in 11 straight contests (six goals, 13 assists). The 28-year-old winger is up to 21 goals, 54 points, 104 shots on net and a plus-8 rating over 38 appearances. Rantanen could be reunited with Nathan MacKinnon if Valeri Nichushkin (lower body) misses additional time following his early exit from Tuesday's game.

  • Avalanche's Mikko Rantanen: Point streak up to 10 games

    Rantanen scored an empty-net goal on three shots, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Friday's 4-1 win over Utah.

    The empty-netter extended Rantanen's point streak to 10 games (five goals, 13 assists). The 28-year-old Finn has gotten on the scoresheet in 11 of 12 contests in December while spending much of the month on the second line. He's up to 20 goals, 53 points, 99 shots on net, 24 PIM, a plus-6 rating, 24 blocked shots and 21 hits through 37 outings overall.

  • Avalanche's Mikko Rantanen: Riding nine-game point streak

    Rantanen posted two assists, including one on the power play, in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Kraken.

    Rantanen set up Cale Makar's first-period goal and also fed Joel Kiviranta on the game-winner at 12:01 of the second. This performance extended Rantanen's point streak to nine games, a span in which he has record four goals and 13 assists. For the season, the superstar winger is up to 52 points -- tied for second in the league with Leon Draisaitl -- while adding 96 shots on net, 23 blocked shots, 22 PIM, 21 hits and a plus-4 rating over 36 outings.

  • Avalanche's Mikko Rantanen: Extends point streak to eight games

    Rantanen notched two assists, including one on the power play, and blocked two shots in Friday's 4-2 win over the Ducks.

    Rantanen had a hand in the Avalanche's last two goals of the game. The star winger extended his point streak to eight contests, a span in which he has contributed four goals and 11 assists. For the season, he's up to 19 goals, 31 helpers, 15 power-play points, 95 shots on net, 22 PIM and a plus-3 rating over 35 appearances. His recent success has come with him seeing time on the second line -- Rantanen can stand on his own at even strength, so a move away from Nathan MacKinnon typically doesn't lead to much of a change in production.

  • Avalanche's Mikko Rantanen: On seven-game point streak

    Rantanen scored a power-play goal on three shots and added two PIM in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.

    Rantanen's tally tied the game at 2-2 in the third period, setting the stage for Joel Kiviranta's two-goal heroics later in the frame. During his seven-game point streak, Rantanen has four goals and nine assists, with just two of those 13 points coming on the power play. The 28-year-old superstar is up to 19 goals, 48 points (14 on the power play), 95 shots on net, 22 PIM and a plus-3 rating through 34 appearances.

Rantanen is up to 18 goals and 29 helpers across 33 games this season. It wouldn't be surprising if he ends up reaching the 100-point plateau for the third season in a row.

Rantanen has gotten onto the scoresheet in five straight games, and he has seven multi-point performances over the last 18 contests, erupting for 12 goals and 29 points over that stretch.
