Stars' Mikko Rantanen: Deposits empty-netter
Rantanen scored an empty-net goal on two shots and added two PIM in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Canucks.
Rantanen is up to three points over two games with the Stars after providing the finishing touch for this win. The 28-year-old saw 19:04 of ice time Sunday, down from 21:56 in his Dallas debut versus the Oilers on Saturday, which was likely a product of head coach Pete DeBoer spreading the minutes around with the lead in the second leg of a back-to-back. Rantanen is now at 29 tallies, 73 points, 181 shots on net, 40 PIM and a plus-9 rating across 64 appearances between three teams this season. His time with the Stars is off to a smooth start, and fantasy managers should have no trouble keeping him in their lineups.

Stars' Mikko Rantanen: Moved in blockbuster trade
Rantanen has been acquired by Dallas from Carolina on Friday in exchange for Logan Stankoven, two first-round picks and two third-round selections, Emily Kaplan of ESPN reports.
Rantanen is also closing in on an eight-year extension with Dallas. The Hurricanes acquired the star winger from Colorado on Jan. 24, but it seems they weren't able to agree to a contract extension, so the Hurricanes ultimately elected to flip him to Dallas rather than risk losing him as an unrestricted free agent over the summer. Although Rantanen was limited to two goals and six points in 13 outings with the Hurricanes, he still has 27 goals and 70 points in 62 appearances overall this season, and he recorded over 40 goals and 100 points in each of the 2022-23 and 2023-24 campaigns. He should find success with Dallas, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him play alongside Roope Hintz and Jason Robertson at both even strength and on the power play.

Stars' Mikko Rantanen: Two power-play points in team debut
Rantanen scored a goal on five shots and added an assist in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Oilers.
Both of Rantanen's points came on the power play, and he logged 21:56 of ice time. The Stars have typically leaned on their balance as an offense, but with Rantanen in the fold, a move to a top-heavy approach with the top line may be in order, though he also had to pick up ice time after Roope Hintz (upper body) exited the game. Rantanen has earned 28 goals, 72 points (23 on the power play), 180 shots on net and a plus-8 rating through 63 appearances with the Stars, Hurricanes and Avalanche this season. The $96 million man is committed to Dallas long term, so Stars fans and fantasy managers alike will hope he's able to get back on track after a rough month-plus with the Hurricanes took some of the shine off of his impressive season.

Stars' Mikko Rantanen: Inks eight-year contract
Rantanen agreed to an eight-year, $96 million contract extension with Dallas on Friday, per Darren Dreger of TSN.
Rantanen was acquired by Dallas from Carolina earlier in the day. It was the second time he had been dealt this season, but his new contract includes a full no-movement clause, so he won't need to worry about any additional trades for the foreseeable future. Rantanen has 27 goals and 70 points in 62 appearances in 2024-25. Although the 28-year-old might see some decline during the second half of his new contract, Rantanen should be one of the Stars' best forwards for years to come.

Hurricanes' Mikko Rantanen: Dishes assist Saturday
Rantanen registered an assist, took two shots on goal and had two hits in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Oilers.
Rantanen's helper was on the power play as he helped linemate Sebastian Aho score the lone goal of the game for Carolina. The 28-year-old Rantanen is up to 43 assists, 70 points and 165 shots on net across 59 games this season. The Finnish superstar is the 10th player to eclipse the 70-point mark this season. Since joining the Hurricanes on Jan. 25, Rantanen has six points in 10 games. He got off to a slower start with Carolina but has picked up the pace with four points in as many games after the break for the 4 Nations Face-Off.

Hurricanes' Mikko Rantanen: First game-winner with Carolina
Rantanen scored the game-winning goal on the power play and added an even-strength assist in Thursday's 5-2 victory over the Sabres.
Both points came in the first period as the Hurricanes surged out to a 3-0 lead they would never relinquish. It was Rantanen's first multi-point performance -- and first game-winning goal -- with his new squad, and in three games since play resumed following the 4 Nations Face-Off, the 28-year-old winger has a goal and three points. Rantanen has had a quiet start to his Carolina tenure, but he could be hitting his stride.

Hurricanes' Mikko Rantanen: Gets 4 Nations goal in Finnish win
Rantanen scored a goal for Finland in a 4-3 overtime win over Sweden on Saturday at the 4 Nations Face-Off in Montreal.
Rantanen cashed in on a power play with 14 seconds left in the first period. He took a cross-ice pass from Patrik Laine and nearly flubbed the shot. The puck wobbled and fluttered but still went past Swedish starter Filip Gustavsson to give Finland a 2-1 lead. Rantanen came into the tourney on a three-game scoring drought and has just two points (one goal, one assist) in six games in his new NHL jersey.

Hurricanes' Mikko Rantanen: Slated to play for Team Finland
Rantanen (lower body) is on his way to Montreal and is expected to play for Team Finland in the 4 Nations Face-Off tournament, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet on Sunday.
Rantanen missed Saturday's game against Utah, but his ailment was seemingly a minor one. His availability is crucial for a Finland squad that will be without star blueliner Miro Heiskanen (knee). The Finns will face Team USA on Thursday.

Hurricanes' Mikko Rantanen: Unavailable Saturday
Rantanen (lower body) won't play against Utah on Saturday.
Rantanen sustained the injury from blocking a shot in Thursday's 2-1 loss to Minnesota. He has generated one goal, one assist and 21 shots on net in six games with the Hurricanes after being acquired from Colorado on Jan. 24. Due to Rantanen's absence, Carolina will dress 11 forwards and seven defensemen in Saturday's lineup, with Scott Morrow drawing back in after being a healthy scratch in Thursday's defeat.

Hurricanes' Mikko Rantanen: Pots first goal with new team
Rantanen scored his 26th goal of the season in Thursday's 3-2 win over Chicago.
His first goal with Carolina came on a counterattack early in the second period, as Rantanen took a drop pass from Jack Roslovic before going five-hole on Arvid Soderblom. Rantanen has two points over three games since the trade from the Avalanche, and his scoring pace should pick up once he gets more comfortable in his new system and Carolina's roster gets back to full strength -- both Sebastian Aho and Taylor Hall were sidelined due to an illness Thursday.

Hurricanes' Mikko Rantanen: Nabs first Carolina point
Rantanen picked up an assist in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Rangers.
Acquired from the Avalanche late last week, Rantanen collected his first point as a member of the Hurricanes in his second game for his new squad, flipping a pass to Andrei Svechnikov past a sprawling Igor Shesterkin for an easy tap-in late in the second period. Rantanen appears to be developing chemistry with his new teammates quickly, and even though he's no longer skating with Nathan MacKinnon, the 28-year-old still figures to thrive as one of the focal points of the Carolina offense. Through 51 appearances this season, Rantanen has 25 goals and 65 points.

Hurricanes' Mikko Rantanen: Involved in massive trade
Rantanen was traded to the Hurricanes from the Avalanche via the Blackhawks in a three-way deal Friday, Emily Kaplan of ESPN reports.
Rantanen is the biggest player in the trade, but it's a blockbuster on multiple levels. The pending unrestricted free agent goes from riding alongside Nathan MacKinnon in Colorado to a spot alongside countryman Sebastian Aho in Carolina. Chicago was involved in the trade to retain 50 percent of Rantanen's cap hit to make the money work for the Hurricanes. Additional aspects of the trade will see Taylor Hall join Rantanen in Carolina, while Martin Necas and Jack Drury head to Colorado. The Blackhawks will also get their own third-round pick in 2025 back after dealing it away in a previous trade, while the Avalanche will get a second-round pick in 2025 and a fourth-round pick in 2026, per Kaplan.

Avalanche's Mikko Rantanen: Plucks apple Wednesday
Rantanen produced an assist and four shots on goal in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Jets.
Rantanen set up a Cale Makar tally in the third period, which ultimately forced overtime. The 28-year-old Rantanen has gone six games without a goal but still has four assists in that span to remain moderately productive. He was back on the top line Wednesday, which is a good sign for his productivity moving forward. Rantanen has 25 goals, 39 helpers, 135 shots on net, 28 PIM, 27 hits and a plus-12 rating over 49 outings.

Avalanche's Mikko Rantanen: Provides assist in loss
Rantanen notched an assist, two blocked shots and two PIM in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Oilers.
Rantanen helped out on a Logan O'Connor goal in the first period. The 28-year-old Rantanen has six goals and four helpers over 10 contests since the holiday break. He took a turn as the second-line center Thursday, a move the Avalanche haven't used often this season. It's possible he'll be in that spot for a while given Casey Mittelstadt's ongoing struggles. Rantanen is at 25 goals, 37 assists, 127 shots on net and a plus-10 rating over 46 appearances. In any usage, Rantanen figures to see top-six minutes and plenty of power-play time.

Avalanche's Mikko Rantanen: Draws helper in overtime win
Rantanen notched an assist, four shots on goal and two PIM in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Rangers.
Rantanen set up Artturi Lehkonen for the game-tying goal late in the third period. The 28-year-old Rantanen began the game on the second line as head coach Jared Bednar looked to spark an offense that has run a tad inconsistent in January. The star winger is doing his part with four goals and three assists over seven outings this month, and he's up to 25 goals, 36 helpers, 127 shots on net and a plus-11 rating through 45 contests overall.

Avalanche's Mikko Rantanen: Reaches 60-point mark
Rantanen scored a goal on three shots, dished an assist and went plus-3 in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Wild.
Rantanen's goal stretched the Avalanche's lead to 3-1, and he also helped out on a Nathan MacKinnon tally in the third period. The 28-year-old Rantanen saw a 14-game point streak (nine goals, 14 helpers) end in Chicago on Wednesday, but has been held off the scoresheet in consecutive contests just once this year. That consistency has helped him reach the 60-point mark (25 goals, 35 assists) while adding 120 shots on net and a plus-13 rating through 43 outings this season.

Rantanen scored an empty-net goal on three shots in Monday's 3-1 win over the Panthers.
Rantanen put the finishing touches on the win and extended his scoring streaks in the process. He has a goal in five straight games -- three of which have been empty-netters -- and he's earned nine goals and 14 assists during a 14-game point streak that started Dec. 7. The 28-year-old winger is up to 24 tallies, 58 points (18 on the power play), 117 shots on net and a plus-10 rating through 41 outings overall, putting him on pace for a career year and his third consecutive 100-point campaign.

Avalanche's Mikko Rantanen: Tallies on power play
Rantanen scored a power-play goal on seven shots and had a block in Saturday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Canadiens.
Rantanen was left unattended near the post and redirected a feed from Nathan MacKinnon to put Colorado up, 1-0, nine minutes into the game. It was his fourth consecutive game with a goal and second straight with a power-play tally. Rantanen leads the Avalanche in both goals (23) and power-play markers (eight). The seven shots on net give him 123 for the season.
