Mikko Rantanen Expected To Play On Thursday
5 days agoCarolina Hurricanes winger Mikko Rantanen (lower body) is set to play for Finland on Thursday against the USA in the 4 Nations Face-Off. Rantanen was hurt a week ago against the Minnesota Wild and missed Carolina's last game before the 4 Nations Face-Off. He did not participate in Thursday's optional morning skate but is expected to play against Team USA. In practice, Rantanen has skated alongside former Colorado Avalanche teammate Artturi Lehkonen and Florida Panthers captain Aleksander Barkov on Finland's top line. Over his last three tournaments with Finland, Rantanen has tallied nine goals and 30 points in 26 games.
