EDGE Analysis

Raffl will be held out of his eighth consecutive game Wednesday as he continues to recover from the ailment but all signs are pointing to his return for the second game of the back-to-back. Once fully healthy, the 27-year-old left winger will look to increase his point totals for the fourth consecutive season during the 2016-17 campaign.
