EDGE Analysis

Rantanen hasn't played since Mar. 21 but appears on track to be healthy once the playoffs get underway. Colorado is off Tuesday, but according to head coach Jared Bednar, the team is hopeful that its star forward will be a full participant in Wednesday's practice ahead of Game 1 on Thursday. In 74 games this season, Rantanen recorded a career-best 87 points, including 33 with the man advantage.
