Rau averaged more than a point per game between 2011-15 at the University of Minnesota, and he's dented the scoresheet to the tune of 17 goals and 10 assists in 48 games with Portland this campaign. While he doesn't have ideal size at 5-foot-8 and 173 pounds, Rau is a dual threat in that he can score and set up goals all the same. However, he has yet to debut in the NHL and likely won't be much of a factor this season, given the lack of experience.
