LOS ANGELES — Mikko Rantanen contemplated the prompt. He didn’t have a search engine or a stat sheet in front of him to consult. His answer would be based more on feel, from years of memories playing alongside his linemate.The prompt: Sidney Crosby had recently suggested the 2022-23 season might be Nathan MacKinnon’s best. What say you, Moose?“Obviously he’s had really good years,” Rantanen said. “I remember that 19-20 season. He was electric. The shortened season. He probably would have had 120 (points) that year maybe, if we played all the games.“But it’s kind of his standard. Every year, you kind of think, ‘Is this his best year?’ again.”MacKinnon is gearing up for his seventh playoff run with the Avalanche, but this time he has a regular-season monkey off his back. The franchise center reached 100 points for the first time in his 10-year career Tuesday in San Jose.“I’m just happy that I got it ou...
