Avalanche right winger Mikko Rantanen skipped another practice Sunday with what the team said is a minor leg injury. Rantanen was injured in Thursday’s practice and did not practice Friday or play in Saturday’s 7-0 preseason loss at Minnesota.
Avs coach Jared Bednar said Rantanen also won’t play Monday in the team’s third preseason game in Las Vegas against the Golden Knights, but not because of his injury. Rantanen and his linemates — center Nathan MacKinnon and left winger Gabe Landeskog — weren’t scheduled to make the trip.
Rookie right winger Logan O’Connor skated with MacKinnon and Landeskog on Sunday.
