The Colorado Avalanche looked strong against the Dallas Stars, as Jared Bednar and former Stars goalie Scott Wedgewood put a fork in the Stars' hopes for a win, as they defeated them 4-3, even with Mikko Rantanen in the lineup on March 16th.
The Dallas Stars and Colorado Avalanche are set to begin their 1st-round playoff series in April. We got a glimpse of how that action would look as the Avalanche poured on the Stars, with a 4-3 victory.
Even with a Superstar winger in the lineup, the Avalanche looked quicker and were able to keep ahead of the Stars on March 16th.
Rantanen was found on the team's 3rd-line with Wyatt Johnston, and Jamie Benn, if that gives you any idea of how Head Coach Peter DeBoer feels about him lately, per Lia Assimakopoulos.
Avalanche Reporter Takes A Shot At Mikko Rantanen
In a recent statement on X, an Avalanche reporter took a shot at Mikko Rantanen stating that the Avalanche are a quicker and harder team to play against without Rantanen.
Rantanen would only be good for 1 point (1 assist) in the game against his former team on March 16th, playing 22 shifts, 17:15 TOI,1 giveaway, and 1 face-off loss.
Former Dallas Stars goalie Scott Wedgewood would save 19 of 22 shots on goal, with a .864 save percentage, to earn a win.
The Avalanche again scored by committee that night in order to secure a victory, ensured by Valeri Nichushkin, Brock Nelson, Nathan MacKinnon, and Martin Necas as forwards with one or more points that night. While Cale Makar and Sam Malinski would contribute from the blue line.
The Avalanche are 3rd in the Central Division with a record of 49-29-4 and 102 points.
This is not over by a long shot for the Colorado Avalanche, and we'll see who the better team is when the 1st-round kicks off.
