EDGE Analysis

Rasmussen dealt with an injury at the end of the preseason, but he was fine to play in a third-line role Thursday. He helped out on Vladislav Namestnikov's third-period tally, but it wasn't enough for the Red Wings to win their season opener. Rasmussen is slated to play in a middle-six role to begin this season, and he had 12 points in 40 outings in 2020-21.
