Rau earned his first career NHL point Sunday in a 5-2 win over the Red Wings. He received 10:07 of ice time.

EDGE Analysis

Playing in his third game of the season after sitting the last one out as a healthy scratch, the 24-year-old officially got onto an NHL scoresheet. A point-per-game player for four years at the University of Minnesota, the 2011 third-round pick put up 31 points in 63 AHL contests last season but put up a big fat goose egg in nine games with the Panthers. Now that Rau has gotten his first point off his shoulders, it'll be interesting to see how long it takes him to start flashing some of his offensive flair from his collegiate days in Sunrise.
