Rantanen notches two assists
Mikko Rantanen notched two assists and four hits in Sunday’s 6-1 loss to the Jets in Game 1. Rantanen assisted on goals by Nathan MacKinnon and Casey Mittelstadt. The 27-year-old Rantanen was limited to four points over six appearances in April to close out the regular season, and he missed two games with a concussion. The winger had 104 points — one shy of his career high — in 80 outings overall and should continue to be a productive part of the Avalanche’s offense in the playoffs.
Lowry scores twice, adds six hits in Game 1 win
Adam Lowry scored twice and added six hits in Sunday’s 7-6 win over the Avalanche in Game 1. Lowry had a two-goal game against Colorado on April 13 as well, but those were his only two tallies over a 19-game stretch. The 31-year-old finished the regular season with 35 points, 181 hits, 57 PIM and 119 shots on net over 81 appearances in a third-line role. He should continue to see that kind of usage going forward, though Lowry isn’t expected to stay hot on offense throughout the playoffs.
