Rau was reassigned to the Portland Pirates of the AHL on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Rau went pointless in the nine games he played during his recall, but showed some promise in the stint. Though undersized, Rau was able to score at least 40 points in each of his four seasons at the University of Minnesota (finishing with 164 points in 160 games) and could find a role as a scoring third-liner in the NHL before his career comes to an end.
