TAMPERE, Finland (AP) Mikko Rantanen scored three goals in his native country and the Stanley Cup champion Colorado Avalanche beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 6-3 on Friday night in the NHL's second visit to Europe this year.
J.T. Compher carried the Stanley Cup through the stands, then carried it onto the ice at the Northbrook (Illinois) Sport Center, where he had played so much hockey as a kid.
DENVER (AP) There were quite a few big names missing from the ice for Colorado's practice on Thursday: Captain Gabriel Landeskog, defensemen Devon Toews and Josh Manson, forward Andre Burakovsky.
