ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) -- Colorado Avalanche All-Star forward Mikko Rantanen has recovered from an upper-body injury and will play in their first-round series against Calgary.
Game 1 is Thursday night in Calgary.
Rantanen has been sidelined since taking a check into the boards near the team benches at Dallas on March 21. He's coming off a regular season in which he had a career-high 87 points and 31 goals. The right-winger also led the team with 16 power-play goals.
Colorado coach Jared Bednar said after practice Wednesday that he expects Rantanen to ''play a lot, just like he normally does.''
Rantanen said he feels ''really good'' heading into the Flames series. He had four assists in six games last season during a first-round playoff loss to Nashville.
