Rantanen had three assists Saturday in a 7-4 win over Nashville.
EDGE Analysis
Rantanen hit the 100-mark point for the second straight season; he's the sixth player to hit that mark this year. And he's the sixth player in franchise history with at least two 100-point campaigns. More interestingly, Rantanen delivered 60 assists for the first time in his career. The Avs triple threat of Rantanen, Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar have been fantasy forces all season, and they all perform out-of-this-world in the postseason. All three are among the all-time NHL leaders in career points-per game during the playoffs. Four words: money in the bank.

Rantanen scored twice on three shots, added an assist and went plus-3 in Friday's 6-1 win over the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
Rantanen's second goal came on the power play. The winger has five multi-point efforts over his last seven appearances, racking up eight goals, nine helpers and seven power-play points in that span. Rantanen is up to 39 tallies, 96 points, 236 shots on net, 48 PIM and a plus-16 rating through 70 appearances. He needs nine points to match last year's total, though his career high of 55 goals is probably safe.

EDGE Analysis
Rantanen opened the scoring in the first period and added a power-play marker in the second before capping the hat trick with the game-winner in the third, beating Jordan Binnington from the slot off a Blues' turnover.

He's up to 93 points (37 goals, 56 assists) through 69 games this year as he looks to top the 100-point mark for the second straight campaign.
