Colorado Avalanche right winger Mikko Rantanen has started off 2020 in the best way possible.

The 23-year-old Finnish player recorded a hat-trick in his side's 5-2 win over the New Jersey Devils.

In two January games, Rantanen has four goals for the Avalanche, who have outscored their last two opponents 12-5.

The Toronto Maple Leafs caught fire before the calendar shifted from December to January, and on Saturday, they extended their point streak to 10 games.

According to NHL Public Relations, this is the first time since the 2005-06 season that the Maple Leafs recorded a 10-game point streak.
