Rantannen continued his hot series on Wednesday when he achieved a courage trick in the second period in the 3-2 victory of the Dallas stars in game 1 against the Winnipeg Jets. The series of stars ended to lose game 1 in eight consecutive series.

He was already the first player in NHL history to record four points in two points in two points in the games 6 and 7 against the Colorado Valanche in Back-to-Back games. In the third period, his game at 7 helped Dallas helped overcome a 2-0 deficit and cut off his former team.

When he scored his third goal on Wednesday, he had 12 consecutive stars goals, an NHL playoff record. He is also the first NHL player with several three-goal periods in the same night season.

His courage trick with game 1 could not have been more diverse.

Rantents, which was changed twice, put a rebound on the net with one hand on his stick while he was put down. The tape the game at 8:43 a.m.

He tipped a Thomas Harley shot at 2:21 p.m. for a 2-1 lead. The third goal was a coincidence when his passport attempt at 4:38 p.m. with defender Dylan Samberg in the Jets defenders tried.

But when they are hot, these things happen.

“Let's see how long he can do this,” said Stars coach Peter Deboer. “He rolls and he feels. Pretty impressive what he does when you dominate the opponent and the season and how he dominates games.”

Rantents, the nickname moss, is known for its size, shot and skating as well as its playoff skills. He had 101 points in 81 Playoff games with the avalanche before exchanging him in January shockingly to Carolina Hurricanes. The Hurricanes who were worried that they would not sign him again, put him to Dallas on the final day of the trade and he signed an expansion there to play next to the stable of the Finnish players of the stars.

With the hat trick, romances leads the NHL with eight playoff gates and fits Colorados Nathan Mackinnon, which comes out of the playoffs.
