Rickard Rakell Scores Goal No. 32
Pittsburgh Penguins left wing Rickard Rakell scored his 32nd goal of the season during their victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Friday evening. In the opening frame, Rakell found the back of the net on a wrist shot. He would then tack on the primary assist on Bryan Rust's empty-netter in the final minutes. Rakell is now just eight points away from matching his previous career-high in points (69). This is also his third campaign in which he scored at least 30 goals. Since the start of the month, Rakell has scored seven goals and added five helpers across 10 games. During this stretch, he has logged 19 shots on goal and held a solid +4 rating. Fantasy managers should continue to view Rakell as a high-upside option when looking for goals. He will look to stay busy on the scoresheet on Sunday evening against the Florida Panthers.
