Team USA came away with a dominating 6-1 victory over Team Finland. Avs forward Artturi Lehkonen played on the top line with Mikko Rantanen and Aleksander Barkov. Lehkonen was a -1 and had four shots on goal, second to Barkov’s five. Rantanen, while no longer part of the Avalanche, is still a player worth watching. And he again had a bad game, finishing without a shot on goal in more than 19 minutes of ice time. Rantanen was also a -1.

What a season it’s been for Colorado so far. Here are six storylines from September until now that you may have forgotten about.
