Rantanen was held off the scoresheet in his first two games of the season Friday and Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The flashy Finland native was recalled last Monday after a conditioning stint back at AHL San Antonio. Rantanen landed a plum assignment out of the gate on the second line with Nathan MacKinnon and Mikhail Grigorenko, and even spent over three minutes per game on the power play. With that kind of deployment, it shouldn't be long before the 2015 15th overall pick records his first NHL point after a wildly successful 60-point showing (in 52 games) at the AHL level last season.
