Mikko Rantanen Could Return Saturday

Dallas Stars winger Mikko Rantanen (lower body) practiced fully on Friday and could play on Saturday against the Pittsburgh Penguins, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports. The star forward was injured while playing for Team Finland at the Olympics, but he will make a timely return for the Stars, who have lost five of their last six games. Rantanen has averaged the eighth-most points in the NHL this season, tallying 20 goals and 49 assists in 54 outings. His return will end Mavrik Bourque's run on the first line, but he could still maintain a top-six spot after Dallas lost Sam Steel (undisclosed) against the New York Islanders on Thursday night.

Mikko Rantanen Expected to Miss Time

Dallas Stars winger Mikko Rantanen (lower body) will not be in the lineup when the team returns to action this week. The Finnish superstar suffered a lower-body injury at the Olympics and could be out for a couple of games, according to Stars head coach Glen Gulutzan. Rantanen leads his team with 69 points (20 goals, 49 assists) in 54 games, and his absence will be a massive blow for the Stars. On Wednesday, Dallas' frontline may also be without Roope Hintz (illness) and Radek Faksa (upper body). As a result, Sam Steel could get a new opportunity in the top six.

Rantanen is the NHL's eighth-highest scorer, with 69 points (20 goals, 49 assists) in 54 games. He was also in fine form throughout the Olympics, finishing with two goals and six points in five outings. Dallas will be back in action on Wednesday against the Seattle Kraken.

Mikko Rantanen Unavailable Thursday

Dallas Stars winger Mikko Rantanen (illness) won't play on Thursday against the Columbus Blue Jackets. He will miss a second straight game due to illness after being a late scratch on Tuesday against the Boston Bruins. The Stars have struggled in 2026, and Rantanen's absence is a big blow for the team. Rantanen ranks sixth in the league with 63 points (19 goals, 44 assists) in 48 appearances. Mavrik Bourque is expected to continue in a first-line role on Thursday night. He made a big impact on Tuesday, contributing a power-play goal and an even-strength assist in a 6-2 win.

Mikko Rantanen Picks Up Three Points Against Sharks

Dallas Stars winger Mikko Rantanen posted one goal and two assists in Friday's 4-1 victory over the San Jose Sharks. He started his work with a power-play assist in the first period and completed it with a pair of even-strength points in the third.

Only three players have more three-point games in 2025-26: Colorado's Nathan MacKinnon (7), Chicago's Connor Bedard (6), and San Jose's Macklin Celebrini (6). Two of Rantanen's three-point efforts have come in his last four appearances. He has been on fire recently and will head into Sunday's matchup against the Pittsburgh Penguins with a five-game point streak and a three-game goal streak. Rantanen ranks third in the league with 25 assists and has posted 38 points in 28 games.

Mikko Rantanen Returns to Stars Lineup Wednesday

Dallas Stars winger Mikko Rantanen (suspension) will rejoin the lineup on Wednesday against the Seattle Kraken. The Finnish superstar didn't play in Tuesday's win over the Edmonton Oilers due to an automatic suspension he received for having two game misconduct penalties in three contests. Rantanen is poised to land back on the first line, joining Jamie Benn and Wyatt Johnson, who exploded for four points in Tuesday's 8-3 victory. In his last appearance, Rantanen saw a five-game point streak end. The Calgary Flames became only the fourth team this season to keep Rantanen off the score sheet. He has amassed 28 points (10 goals, 18 assists) in 22 outings.

Mikko Rantanen Suspended for One Game

Dallas Stars winger Mikko Rantanen has received an automatic one-game suspension due to a second match penalty in three games. Rantanen was tossed from the game for boarding on Nov. 18 against the New York Islanders and received another ejection for boarding in Saturday's loss to the Calgary Flames. As a result of the suspension, Rantanen must sit out Tuesday's Western Conference Finals rematch against the Edmonton Oilers. He will be eligible to return to action on Wednesday night against the Seattle Kraken. Due to Rantanen's absence, Sam Steel may receive another opportunity in the top six. Meanwhile, Matt Duchene (upper body) could be another option if he is ready to return to the lineup.

Mikko Rantanen Continues Scoring Tear In Game 3

Dallas Stars winger Mikko Rantanen was spectacular once again as the team defeated the Winnipeg Jets 5-2 on Sunday in Game 3 of the second-round series. The Finnish superstar recorded a goal and two assists, becoming the first player in NHL history with five three-point games within his first 10 contests in a postseason. Rantanen earned two of his points early in the third period with the score tied at two. Despite being held scoreless in Game 2, Rantanen has averaged nearly two points per game in the playoffs, accumulating nine goals and nine assists in 10 outings. No player in Stars/North Stars history has scored more points than Rantanen in the first 10 appearances of a single playoff campaign.

Mikko Rantanen Nets Another Hat Trick Wednesday

Dallas Stars winger Mikko Rantanen scored a second straight hat trick in Wednesday's Game 1 against the Winnipeg Jets, pushing his team to a 3-2 victory. There had previously been only two occasions in Stanley Cup Playoffs history where a player had scored back-to-back hat tricks. Rantanen's efforts in front of the net gave Dallas a 3-1 lead from a 1-0 deficit, making him the first player in franchise history with a natural hat trick in the playoffs. We have seen incredible work from Rantanen over the past few games, as he has posted three-plus points in four consecutive outings. The Finnish superstar is now the postseason leader in goals (8) and points (15).

Mikko Rantanen Leads Stars Past Avalanche In Game 7

Dallas Stars winger Mikko Rantanen netted a hat trick and bagged an assist as the team overcame a 2-0 deficit to record a 4-2 win against the Colorado Avalanche in the third period of Game 7 on Saturday night. Rantanen, who became the first player in NHL history to register four-point periods in consecutive games, started the comeback with 7:49 played in the final frame. He capped off the game with an empty-net goal, marking the NHL's first third-period Game 7 hat trick. After witnessing his former team tie the series at two, the Finnish superstar elevated his performance significantly, recording five goals and 11 points over the final three contests. Rantanen now leads all skaters in the postseason with 12 points (five goals, seven assists).

Mikko Rantanen Finishes Game 6 Loss With Four Points

Dallas Stars winger Mikko Rantanen tallied four points -- all in the second period -- during Thursday's 7-4 loss to the Colorado Avalanche. The former Avalanche player registered one goal and three assists, tying the NHL record for the most points in a playoff period. Incredibly, Roope Hintz also had four points (two goals, two assists) as Dallas earned a 4-3 lead, marking the NHL's first instance of teammates each recording four points in a playoff period. Rantanen contributed just one assist in the first four games of the series, but he has suddenly kicked into gear with two goals and five assists over the last two contests. He should be highly motivated to maintain his form in Game 7 against the team that traded him in January.

Mikko Rantanen Tallies Three Points In Monday's Win

Dallas Stars winger Mikko Rantanen accumulated three points in Monday's big 6-2 victory against the Colorado Avalanche. His former teammates had held Rantanen to just one point through four games, but he returned to form on Monday night with a goal and two assists. Rantanen's first goal of the postseason, scored early in the second period, turned out to be the game-winning goal. It has been a slow start to the playoffs for Rantanen, but he is one of the most productive players in Stanley Cup Playoffs history, and it was only a matter of time before the Finnish star regained his rhythm on the offensive end.

Mikko Rantanen Tallies Three Points On Saturday

Dallas Stars right winger Mikko Rantanen tallied three points during their 5-1 victory over the Seattle Kraken on Saturday evening. In the opening frame, Rantanen would tally the secondary assist on Roope Hintz's power-play goal. In the third, Rantanen would tally the primary helper on Wyatt Johnson's 29th goal of the campaign and find the back of the net himself, with an empty-net goal. This victory clinched their spot in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. This impressive outing for Rantanen also extended his current point streak to four games. During this stretch, he has scored two goals and added five helpers. Through 73 games this season, split between time with three clubs, Rantanen has scored 31 goals and added 50 helpers. He will look to stay hot on Monday in a rematch against Seattle.

Mikko Rantanen Traded To Dallas

The Dallas Stars have acquired right wing Mikko Rantanen in exchange for forward Logan Stankoven and two first-round picks, and two third-round picks. Rantanen was traded to the Hurricanes earlier this season and will now play for his third club. The Stars also have an eight-year extension in place with Rantanen, as he was a pending unrestricted free agent. Through 62 contests this season split between Colorado and Carolina, Rantanen has found the back of the net 27 times with 43 helpers. He has tallied 21 of his points on the power play and tallied 175 shots on goal (2.8 per game). Before this season, Rantanen scored at least 30 goals in each of his previous four seasons with a career-high of 55 during the 2022 season. In 2022, he also tallied a career-best 105 points. Fantasy managers should expect Rantanen to play on the first line alongside Roope Hintz and Jason Robertson.
