Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:04:03 GMT

Mikko Rantanen has reiterated for weeks that the individual achievements don’t matter to him. Not true, said Jared Bednar. The Avalanche coach noticed Rantanen has been “squeezing his stick a little tight” in recent games.The chances kept piling up, but the results weren’t as frequent.“You’re going to think about it It’s human nature,” Bednar said last Saturday after Rantanen scored his 49th goal. “You’re at 48. You’re not thinking about it when you’re maybe at 40, 39. … I don’t want him to have it in his head. But I think now he can taste it.”Once he finally got it, there was no looking back.With a game-tying goal in the first period against the Sharks, Rantanen became the Avalanche’s first 50-goal scorer in a season since Milan Hejduk in 2002-03. Then Rantanen scored twice more by the halfway point of the second period, becoming the first Avs player ever with three hat tricks in a seaso...
