Mikko Rantanen Close to NHL Suspension as Jets Worried Over Player Limping on Ice

Mikko Rantanen and the Stars are crashig the party again! Just days after Connor Hellebuyck threw down a brick wall with 22 slick saves and Nikolaj Ehlers lit it up with two third-period goals to keep the Jets breathing with that 4-0 shutout in Game 5, boom! Now we’re back in the fire. The Stars are hunting redemption, brushing off that L like it never happened. And right now? With the third period rolling on, it’s a tense 1-1 standoff, like two cowboys in a hockey-style showdown.

But, hold up, while the puck’s flying, eyes started drifting somewhere else on the ice. Yep, all eyes locked on Mikko Rantanen, who had fans doing a double take after a player was seen limping off, and now whispers of a possible NHL suspension are floating in the breeze. The Stars? Oh, they’re lowkey sweatin’ it. Between the tied scoreboard and the drama swirling around Mikko, this one’s got more plot twists than a Netflix binge.

B/R Open Ice just dropped some heat on X mid-game, and yep, it’s got the timeline buzzing. They posted a clip of Jets’ star Josh Morrissey making his way off the rink, limping heavy on one leg, straight to the locker room in the second period. The moment had fans clutching their jerseys. How’d it go down? Well, Mikko Rantanen was chasing the puck, doing his thing, when both of them got all tangled up like spaghetti and the next thing you know; they’re both down on the ice.

The caption on the post? “Morrissey headed to the Jets locker room after getting tangled up with Rantanen.” And now, while there’s no official call on it just yet, the whispers are getting louder; there could be a suspension in the air. Nothing’s set in stone, but the vibe’s a lil’ tense… like, keep-your-eyes-glued kinda tense.
