Colorado’s Finnish forward has a way.
At the end of the third period, the empty hit Mikko Rantanen already extended his streak to 11 games when the Colorado Avalanche defeated the Winnipeg Jets 5–2.
Only Finns have been able to score in 11 matches in the past Jari Kurri and Teemu Selänne. Rantanen has put up 6+13=19 performances during a handsome streak. The balance of the whole season is now 38 games and 54 (21+33) points. With that, the third place in the points exchange is removed.
At the top of the stock market, Rantanen’s pair of radars are buzzing Nathan MacKinnonwho has already scored 61 (14+47) points.
Among the Finns, the Jets also got a taste of points Rasmus Kupari (1+0) and Colorado Artturi Lehkonen (1+0) and Joel Kiviranta (0+1).
With the win, Colorado is now on a five-game winning streak. For the Jets, the loss was the first in the last five games.
– This [voitto] I think it was deserved. You have to play the right way and you have to be disciplined. We talked about discipline this morning. And we didn’t take any ice in the whole game. We had a good run, Colorado champion coach Jared Bednar told on the NHL website.
Montreal runs
Mikko Rantanen has scored at least one point in 11 consecutive matches. PDO
In addition to Colorado, Montreal is also marching from victory to victory at the moment. Last night, the team defeated the Vegas Golden Knights 3-2, even though Vegas was already leading the game 2-0.
The win was Montreal’s third in a row. What makes the achievement particularly hard is that in all three matches it has faced a top team away from home. Before the Vegas match, it stole points from Florida and Tampa Bay.
Montreal has won no less than six of the last seven games.
– We have finally received results from the work we have done and from it from grindingwhich we do as a team. It’s nice to get an award for it, Kirby Dach he mused with satisfaction on the NHL website.
Montreal goal stick Patrick Laine remained without points this time. The Finn got a good 14 minutes of ice time and was one degree below freezing in the power statistics.
Laine’s pace has waned a bit after the fast start, as the man has only scored 0+1 in the last four games. The balance of the whole season is now 13 games and ten (8+2) points. The power statistic shows a reading of -5.
