Rantanen scored three goals in the third period to eliminate Colorado. He netted three in the second period against Winnipeg. The former Av continues to light the lamp, with seemingly everything he puts on goal finding its way into the net.

It’s painful to watch for Colorado fans. The Moose is loose, while the Avalanche are sitting at home.
