Rantanen scored the game-winning goal on the power play and added an even-strength assist in Thursday's 5-2 victory over the Sabres.
Both points came in the first period as the Hurricanes surged out to a 3-0 lead they would never relinquish. It was Rantanen's first multi-point performance -- and first game-winning goal -- with his new squad, and in three games since play resumed following the 4 Nations Face-Off, the 28-year-old winger has a goal and three points. Rantanen has had a quiet start to his Carolina tenure, but he could be hitting his stride.
