The Dallas Stars were on the road in Denver on Sunday for a showdown against the Colorado Avalanche. The game marked the first time Mikko Rantanen returned to Ball Arena since he was traded by the Avs to the Carolina Hurricanes on Jan. 24.
The Avalanche played a tribute video for Rantanen during the first period, just a few minutes after the 28-year-old assisted the Stars' opening goal of the game, and he was greeted with a chorus of cheers and "MOOSE" chants from the home crowd.
