Rantanen put up three assists, three hits, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Rantanen had a hand in all three of Andre Burakovsky's tallies, with one of the three goals coming on the power play. The two wingers flanked Nathan MacKinnon on the top line as the Avalanche rolled with 11 forwards and seven defensemen due to injuries to Nazem Kadri (lower body) and Gabriel Landeskog (lower body). Rantanen continues to impress this year with 12 goals, 15 assists, 11 power-play points, 72 shots on net, 23 hits and a plus-13 rating in 22 appearances.

Rantanen recorded an assist and three shots on goal in Friday's 7-3 win over the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Rantanen won a faceoff and Andre Burakovsky buried a pass seconds later for the Avalanche's fifth goal. The 25-year-old Rantanen has five points in his last three contests. The Finn is up to 12 goals, 12 assists, 71 shots on net and a plus-11 rating in 21 games overall. He should continue to serve as the second-line center during Nazem Kadri's (lower body) absence.

Rantanen scored twice on five shots in Wednesday's 7-3 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Rantanen opened the scoring at 4:11 of the first period. He also had the last goal of the contest, giving him 12 tallies in 20 contests this year. The star winger has added 11 assists, 68 shots on net, a plus-11 rating and 14 PIM. He was shuffled down to the second line for Wednesday's game, but Rantanen's 19:39 of ice time was second-most among Avalanche forwards, so there's no concerns about his playing time.

Rantanen had one assist, one shot on goal and one hit in Thursday's 4-1 win over Montreal.
EDGE Analysis
Rantanen sent a puck toward an empty net that was deflected by Ben Chiarot onto the stick of Gabriel Landeskog, who slid the puck home for Colorado's final tally of the evening. Rantanen has 19 points over 17 games, joining linemates Landeskog and Nathan MacKinnon, both of whom also average more than a point per game.

Rantanen scored three goals on six shots and dished an assist in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Rantanen's first two goals came on the power play, and he added an insurance tally in the third period to earn his third career hat trick. The Finn is in excellent scoring form yet again with 10 goals, eight assists, 54 shots on net and a plus-9 rating through 15 contests. He's adapted fairly well to playing center in the absence of Nathan MacKinnon (lower body), which should give Rantanen multi-position eligibility in some formats.

Rantanen had an assist, four shots on goal, one hit and two penalty minutes in Wednesday's 5-2 win over Anaheim.
EDGE Analysis
Rantanen patiently held the puck along the side wall, circled to the top of the offensive zone and found Nazem Kadri at the corner of the net for Colorado's fourth goal. It was his fourth consecutive game with at least one point. Rantanen started the season hot as the Avalanche struggled early and has picked up the pace during Colorado's win streak. The top-line forward, who shifted to center with Nathan MacKinnon (lower body) sidelined, has nine points during the team's six-game winning streak. He also won 60 percent (six of 10) of his draws Wednesday, the second straight game above 50 percent for the winger.
