Mikko Rantanen finally got in on the Colorado Avalanche’s goal-scoring barrage.

The star winger’s first two goals of the postseason came in the third period to break a tie on Tuesday night at the Canada Life Centre in Winnipeg and catapulted the Avalanche into the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs.

Colorado defeated the Winnipeg Jets 6-3 to win the Western Conference first-round playoff series in five games. The Avalanche will play the winner of the series between the Dallas Stars and Vegas Golden Knights. That series is tied 2-2.

Rantanen’s goals came less than four minutes apart early in the third period. The first, 4:11 into the period, broke a 3-3 tie. He then scored at 8:01.
