"I told them I'll be flexible and I want to play here for a long time. Then a couple days later they traded me," Rantanen said Saturday.

It was a wild six weeks for Mikko Rantanen, which included two trades and negotiating a potential contract with several teams.

Although it’s almost unheard of for a 100-point scorer to be traded twice in the same season, that’s precisely the situation Dallas Stars winger Mikko Rantanen experienced this year.

Colorado Avalanche forward Parker Kelly described himself as “the puck guy” before Colorado’s matchup against the Calgary Flames. Then, he became a superhero. Kelly went out and won the game for the Avs on Friday, back in the wing after spending most of the season adjusting to center. He scored twice in the Avalanche’s 4-2 victory over the Flames.

Parker Kelly scored twice and the Colorado Avalanche beat the Calgary Flames 4-2. Ryan Lindgren and Valeri Nichushkin also scored for Colorado, which has points in eight straight (7-0-1).
