GAME STORY | Mikko Rantanen hat trick gives Avalanche dramatic overtime win at St. Louis
An odd trend has been developing in Rantanen’s game. Individual home-road splits don’t typically yield dramatic differences in hockey, but Rantanen’s were becoming noticeable. Before St. Louis, he had just eight points in 13 true road games — but 20 points, including nine goals, in 10 games at Ball Arena.
“I thought was big tonight — not just his play, his leadership role on the ice,” Avalanche coach Jared Bednar said. “Was mixing him in with Newhook, so he was playing a little bit with Newhook and his line. Giving him a little extra ice time whenever possible.” “There’s some inconsistencies to their game,” Bednar told The Denver Post before puck drop. “But I still consider them a contender and a top team in the west.”
