Rantanen assisted on a power-play goal, fired three shots on net and blocked two shots over 28:19 of ice time in Monday's 3-2 shootout win over Dallas.
EDGE Analysis
Rantanen, positioned behind the net, fed Cale Makar moving in from the point for the game's first goal. The assist, which snapped a two-game pointless run, was Rantanen's 11th on the power play and gives him 26 points over 17 contests.

Rantanen scored a goal on four shots, dished a power-play assist, logged two hits and added two PIM in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Rantanen's point streak is up to six games, and he's recorded multi-point efforts in five of them. During the streak, he's picked up eight goals and eight assists. The Finnish forward is showing why he was worth an early-round pick in fantasy drafts with 11 tallies, 14 helpers, 12 power-play points, 46 shots on net, a plus-6 rating, 12 PIM and 16 hits through 14 contests. His current scoring pace is likely unsustainable, but he could challenge for a 100-point campaign if he stays healthy.

EDGE Analysis
Rantanen, who is one of three NHL players to collect at least four points during a regular-season game outside of North America, put on a show before a sold-out Global Series crowd in Tampere, Finland. He grew up about 100 miles from the arena and put an exclamation mark on his outing by notching the game-winner on a third-period power play. The 26-year-old right winger generated six shots and capped his fourth career hat trick with an empty-netter, which ignited loud applause.

Rantanen had a goal and an assist during a 5-4 loss to the Islanders on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Rantanen, who scored a career-best 36 goals last season, connected on his first tally in five games, dating back to a two-goal effort against the Jets on Oct. 19. Last season, the 26-year-old right winger endured only two droughts of at least five games. Rantanen snapped his latest goalless skid following goalie Alexandar Georgiev's athletic saves during a goal-mouth scramble. He noticed an opening deep, skated behind the Islanders' defense and received a breakaway pass from Josh Manson, scoring on a snap wrister.

The 25-year-old right winger had a team-high seven shots and three hits against the Avalanche.

His assist on Valeri Nichushkin's goal with 1:33 remaining sent the game into the extra stanza. Rantanen has registered a point in the Avalanche's opening four encounters.

Rantanen scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Monday's 6-3 win over the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Rantanen was at his playmaking best in the first two games of the season, but he showed off his shot in this one. The 25-year-old tallied at 11:59 of the second period for his first goal of the year. Rantanen has reached the 30-goal mark in three of the last four seasons, so it was only a matter of time before he got back in the goal column. He's added five power-play assists, seven shots on net and a plus-1 rating through three contests.
