The Avalanche have sputtered out of the break with two regulation victories in their last seven games. I want to see more from Mikko Rantanen as we get closer to the playoffs. The Moose has been more than sufficient this season, but I’ve seen him play frustrated more this season than ever, and that seems to be working against him. He’s puck-handling too much when he should pass, passing when he should shoot, and taking untimely and unnecessary penalties in the offensive end. I am confident that Mikko will straighten these things out.
We’ve seen plenty from Jonathan Drouin, especially considering the cost of his services.
