Avalanche's Mikko Rantanen: Slides assist in loss

Rantanen had an assist, one shot on net and one block in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Canadiens.

Rantanen redirected a pass from Devon Toews to Nathan MacKinnon for Colorado's lone goal just 43 seconds into the game. After having his 14-game point streak halted in Sunday's improbable comeback win over the Penguins, Rantanen will attempt to begin a new one. He's up to 97 points through 72 games and is threatening last season's career-high 105 points.
