Mikko Rantanen Overtime Winner Gives Avalanche Game 2 Win vs. Golden Knights

The Colorado Avalanche just keep rolling.

After sweeping the St. Louis Blues in the first round and destroying the Vegas Golden Knights by six goals in Game 1 of their second-round series, the Avalanche pushed their lead to 2-0 over their West Division rivals with a dramatic 3-2 overtime victory in Wednesday's Game 2 at Ball Arena.

Mikko Rantanen scored the winning goal after goaltender Philipp Grubauer led the way for much of the game.

The return of Marc-Andre Fleury in between the pipes wasn't enough for the Golden Knights, who will look to turn things around on home ice.
