Rantanen Out 2 Weeks, Back Before Season's End

Mikko Rantanen limps back from Olympic bronze with the Finns nursing a lower-body injury that sidelines Dallas' points leader for at least two weeks. Coach Gulutzan confirms it's more than a game or two, but the Stars expect their $96 million sniper to return before the April 15 finale against Buffalo. With 25 games left and third place in the Central on the line, guys like Hintz and Heiskanen step up while the Big D locker room braces for the post-Olympic grind.
