Mikko Rantanen News: Plucks three apples in Olympic win

Finland was dominant while piling up goals to close out the preliminary stage of the tournament. When asked if he felt guilty about the lopsided score, Rantanen told NHL.com that, "This was probably the only game I didn't feel bad, just because the goal differential. I knew how much that matters for the second place to get the bye to quarterfinals. So today I didn't feel bad, but it's important to get those goals." He has one goal and four points through three games at the 2026 Winter Olympics.
