Tonight's game was marketed as Nathan MacKinnon vs. Connor McDavid. While McDavid did put on a bit of a show in the second period of this wild game, MacKinnon was frankly too busy getting involved in the emotional side of the game. With MacK busy, enter the league’s top scorer: Mikko Rantanen.
Rantanen put on a play-making show for the home crowd with a four-point (two goals, two primary assists) night in the Colorado Avalanche’s ultimate 6-4 defeat at the hands of the Edmonton Oilers.
With his assist in the third period, Rantanen became the first player in the league to hit 50 points on the season.
