Rantanen notched a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Rantanen followed up his four-assist night from Wednesday with another power-play helper in the Avalanche's second game. These first two contests showcase what Rantanen brings to the table -- playmaking skill, power-play production and no hesitation to shoot, as he's put five shots on target in those games. He's likely to fill a top-line role throughout the year as he looks to exceed the 80-point mark for the fourth time in his career.

Rantanen dished out four power-play assists in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Rantanen helped set up Valeri Nichushkin in the first and third periods, and he assisted on two Arturri Lehkonen goals in the second. Thirty-five of Rantanen's career-high 92 points last season came on the power play, and Colorado's top man-advantage unit is already in midseason form based on this performance.

Rantanen scored a power-play goal, doled out four hits and went minus-2 in Monday's 6-5 overtime win over the Oilers in Game 4.
EDGE Analysis
Rantanen gave the Avalanche a 5-4 lead with 5:13 left in the third period, but that lead didn't last. Artturi Lehkonen was able to finish the series sweep in overtime to send the Avs to the Stanley Cup Finals. Rantanen finished the Western Conference Finals with four goals, two helpers and 16 shots on net in four contests. The 25-year-old lined up as the second-line center with Nazem Kadri (thumb) out -- Rantanen has played a little center this year and could continue in that role over a more natural pivot like J.T. Compher, who remains on the third line. Rantanen has five goals, 12 helpers, 40 shots on net, 30 hits and a plus-2 rating through 14 playoff contests.
