Rickard Rakell Returns Monday
12 months agoPittsburgh Penguins forward Rickard Rakell (upper body) was activated off injured reserve for Monday's game against the Minnesota Wild. It was Rakell's first game since November 19, as he missed 12 games with the injury. The 30-year-old was put in a prime position Monday, as he skated on the first line with Sidney Crosby and Jake Guentzel while seeing time on the second powerplay unit. Unfortunately, he did not take advantage of it tonight, registering just two shots on goal in the contest. If he continues to see this kind of deployment the points should come, and he is a solid waiver wire option right now.
