Michael Raffl was called up from the minors on Wednesday March 5.

Michael Raffl has been sent to AHL Adirondack. Raffl has seven goals and 18 points in 49 games with Philadelphia this season. He also has three points in two AHL contests in 2013-14.

Michael Raffl apologized for the "unprofessional" actions of himself and his teammates following Austria's loss to Slovenia in the qualification round of the Olympics. Most of the Austrian roster was reportedly partying until 6 o'clock on Monday morning prior to Tuesday's win or go home contest. NHLers Thomas Vanek and Michael Grabner were also reportedly part of the ill-timed festivities. Raffl didn't think it was the cause of their loss to Slovenia. "We are of the opinion that this did not affect the disappointing team performance at the playoff game against Slovenia," he said in a translated version of the statement. "But we are aware of our role as role models and should have waited to celebrate on the evening after our last tournament game."

Michael Raffl was held off the scoresheet in Slovenia's 4-0 win over Austria. Raffl had been effective up to that point with three points in Austria's first three Olympic games. The New York Islanders' Michael Grabner was also very effective with five goals and six points going into this match, but he couldn't solve Slovenian goalie Robert Kristan either.

Michael Raffl netted the game-winning goal for Austria in a 3-1 victory over Norway on Sunday. He has one goal and two assists in three games during his first taste of Olympic action. Raffl has been averaging 17:25 of ice time per contest, which is slightly ahead of Austrian teammate Thomas Vanek.

Michael Raffl contributed two assists in his Olympic debut on Thursday. The Austrians lost 8-4 to Finland in the contest, but Raffl clicked with Michael Grabner. Grabner scored three goals in the defeat and Raffl assisted on two of them.

Michael Raffl scored a goal in Philadelphia's 5-3 defeat on Thursday. It was the fifth goal of Raffl's career. He has 16 points in 42 contests in 2013-14.

Michael Raffl scored his first career game-winning goal on Saturday. Raffl has four goals and 13 points in 36 games in his rookie campaign. We can't recommend owning him in standard leagues at this time, but he does have enough offensive upside to warrant keeping an eye on him.

Michael Raffl is looking forward to playing his first game at Madison Square Garden. The Austria, forward, who will play in the Olympics in February, will play at MSG on Sunday. "You grow up hearing about that building, so it's going to be special for me," Raffl said. "All you hear is the Madison Square Garden. I've never been there and I've never seen it. It's going to be nice."

Michael Raffl scored a goal in just his second game following a concussion. Of course it helps that Raffl only missed a single contest due to the head injury, so he didn't really have any rust to shake off. He has three goals and 12 points in 31 games in 2013-14.
