Rasmussen scored a goal Saturday in a 5-2 loss to the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Rasmussen opened the scoring in the first period on a quick wrist shot from between the circles. He has a goal and assist in his last two games, but the snipe was his first in 13 games (first in December). Rasmussen is a guy who is better on the ice than in the fantasy arena. He has five goals, six assists, 36 hits, 35 shots and 26 blocked shots in 34 games this season.

Rasmussen (undisclosed) is expected to be available for Thursday's game against Columbus, per Ansar Khan of MLive.com on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Rasmussen left Tuesday's 5-4 victory over Boston because of the injury. He has four goals and eight points in 22 appearances this season. Rasmussen will likely maintain his spot in Detroit's bottom six.

Rasmussen (undisclosed) didn't finish Tuesday's game versus the Bruins, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Head coach Todd McLellan didn't seem overly concerned about Rasmussen's status, but the forward will be checked on in the morning. He can be considered day-to-day for now, and an update on his status should be available prior to Thursday's game versus the Blue Jackets.

Rasmussen scored a goal in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

Rasmussen was the hero for the Red Wings after tying the game at the 18:06 mark of the third period with a tip-in. Unfortunately, the Red Wings couldn't complete the comeback and ended up losing in the shootout. Rasmussen has four goals this season, and as a player who skates in the fourth line and the top penalty-killing unit, he's not expected to deliver a ton of fantasy production on a regular basis.

Rasmussen had a goal and an assist in a 6-3 loss to Tampa Bay on Friday. He also had three hits and three shots on goal.

EDGE Analysis

Rasmussen tapped a rebound over the goal line at 3:13 of the second period to cut the score to 3-2. He had missed three games to an undisclosed injury. Overall, Rasmussen has three goals, four assists, 22 hits and 19 shots in 20 games while in a fourth-line role.

Rasmussen (undisclosed) was activated from injured reserve Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Detroit assigned Erik Gustafsson to AHL Grand Rapids in a corresponding move. Following a three-game absence, Rasmussen will return to the lineup against Tampa Bay on Friday. He has contributed two goals, five points, 16 shots on net, 14 blocked shots and 19 hits across 19 appearances this season.

Rasmussen (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, retroactive to Nov. 20.

EDGE Analysis

Elmer Soderblom (undisclosed) was activated from IR in a corresponding move. The 26-year-old Rasmussen has clearly been dealing with the injury for a while, but it went unreported. He is eligible to return as soon as Friday's game versus the Lightning, but there is no timeline for his return yet.

Rasmussen scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

Rasmussen was a healthy scratch in the Red Wings' previous game Sunday versus the Blackhawks after going without a point in five straight contests. He's now gotten on the scoresheet in the game after each of his two scratches this season. The 26-year-old has four points, 15 shots on net, 13 hits, 11 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 15 appearances. His inconsistent playing time further lowers his already-minimal fantasy appeal.

Rasmussen scored a goal on three shots, dished an assist and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Both of Rasmussen's points -- his first two of the year -- came on empty-net tallies as he helped the Red Wings knock off the defending champions. The 26-year-old has started 2025-26 in a fourth-line role, which is likely to hinder his scoring production. In addition to his two points, Rasmussen has three shots on net, four hits, four blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through four appearances this season.

Rasmussen scored a goal and blocked four shots in Friday's 5-3 win over the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Rasmussen's second-period tally stood as the game-winner. He had been limited to one assist over his previous eight contests, a slump deep enough to see him demoted to the fourth line for Friday's game. He's now at 11 goals, 19 points, 92 shots on net, 129 hits, 58 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating across 70 appearances this season, his lowest scoring pace in four years.
