Mikko Rantanen will take credit for the overtime game winner on Wednesday night. But the result was simple math. More shots on goal equal more opportunity to score, and against Calgary in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Avalanche can’t get enough.
“We were humming,” Rantanen said. “We had a lot of good chances even before my goal.”
Colorado can close out the Flames series Friday in Game 5 thanks to its relentless attack. The Avs combined for 108 shots on goal over its last two victories; a historic rate, considering their 56 shots on goal in Game 3 were most the in a regular season playoff game in franchise history.
