3 years agoColorado Avalanche forward Mikko Rantanen (illness) will return from a four-game absence on Thursday against Nashville. With two games to go, the Avalanche are still in contention to win the Presidents' Trophy, and getting back their top scorer should be a great boost for the team. Rantanen has had an outstanding season with 36 goals and 91 points in 73 games. He's also taken a major step forward in his overall development as a player, as he has started to play the center position at times. The 25-year-old has crushed it against the Predators throughout the season with six points in three games. --Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
