Impact Rantanen missed two games due to the concussion. He has 40 goals and 102 points in 77 outings in 2023-24. Rantanen is projected to serve on the second line alongside Valeri Nichushkin and Casey Mittelstadt, which is a departure from his standard role on the top unit with Nathan MacKinnon. The 27-year-old Rantanen's new assignment likely reflects the Avalanche's desire to better balance its offense ahead of the postseason.
