Hat Trick Ends Avalanche

The Anomaly that is RW Mikko Rantanen

Stars 4 – Avalanche 2 (en) (Series 4-3 Dallas) Last night’s opening round game seven was immensely entertaining, a close game where the visitors struck first shorthanded halfway through the second period and then again seconds into the third period to take the 2-0 lead.

And just when the home fans were about to lose hope their newest player in Dallas, RW Rantanen a former first round selection and 10-year veteran of the Avalanche, scores twice in six minutes to tie the game and with four minutes remaining assists on the go-ahead goal before scoring his hat trick with just three seconds remaining in the game.
