EDGE Analysis

Rantanen wore an orange, no-contact, jersey but it was the first time the 19-year-old practiced in full with the Avalanche since sustaining an ankle injury in mid-September. The No. 10 overall pick in the 2015 draft said following practice, "The rehab had gone pretty well and it's starting to feel pretty good. I just have to keep it feeling good, that's the goal." With Opening Night just one week away, there's a chance the the right winger could be ready by then but he added, "We'll see...We have to be smart with it."
