Rasmussen was sent to AHL Grand Rapids on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Rasmussen dressed in the last eight games for Detroit, so this move is a bit surprising. It's unclear if he'll be back on the Red Wings' roster ahead of Wednesday's game in Tampa Bay or if he'll get some action in the minors. Rasmussen has two points and a minus-2 rating this season.

Rasmussen was sent to the taxi squad by the Red Wings on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

This appears to be a mere paper transaction for the Wings, as the team doesn't return to game ice until Wednesday's road clash versus the Lightning. Rasmussen has appeared in the last eight contests for Detroit, stacking three assists against a minus-2 rating over that span.

Rasmussen was promoted from the taxi squad Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Rasmussen is expected to play in Saturday's game against the Panthers. The 21-year-old dished out two helpers over 16:22 of ice time in Thursday's 7-3 loss to the Stars, bringing his total for the year to three points through six contests.

The Red Wings assigned Rasmussen to their taxi squad Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Rasmussen has drawn into six games with Detroit this season, picking up three helpers while posting a minus-3 rating over that span. The 21-year-old forward will likely continue to bounce between the taxi squad and the active roster throughout the campaign.

Rasmussen earned a primary assist in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

While it shows up as a helper in the box score, Rasmussen was fortunate that Bobby Ryan was able to bury an idle puck off the draw. There is plenty of offensive upside with Rasmussen, but he didn't play in either of the first two games and saw just 12:58 of ice time in his season debut Monday.

Rasmussen was placed on Detroit's taxi squad Tuesday, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

This transaction means Rasmussen can remain involved in team activities and practices with the parent club, but he must be recalled to the NHL in order to play in a given contest. The Red Wings open their season against the Hurricanes in Detroit on Wednesday.

Rasmussen is shaping up to start the new season on Detroit's taxi squad, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

While he's best known for his offensive acumen, Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill envisions the 6-foot-6, 221-pound skater eventually blossoming into "a real big, lockdown-type center that can play against other teams' best players." Rasmussen played in Austria during the fall, adding five goals and 13 assists through 18 games for Graz EC. Physically, he should be ready to rock if called upon in the NHL, but for the time being his status largely depends on the health of more established players.

Rasmussen is returning to North America following his loan to the Graz 99ers of Austria's ICE Hockey League, Ted Kulfan of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rasmussen played well during his time in Austria, picking up 18 points in 18 contests. The ninth overall pick from the 2017 draft spent the entirety of the 2019-20 campaign in the AHL, notching 22 points in 35 contests. He'll get the opportunity to battle for a spot on the big club's Opening Night roster during training camp, but he could still begin the year in the minors.

The Red Wings loaned Rasmussen to the Graz 99ers of Austria's ICE Hockey League on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Rasmussen spent the entirety of the 2019-20 campaign with AHL Grand Rapids, notching seven goals and 22 points in 35 contests. The ninth overall pick from the 2017 draft will get an opportunity to earn a spot on the Red Wings' Opening Night roster during next season's training camp, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him start the campaign in the minors.

Rasmussen scored his sixth goal of the season in AHL Grand Rapids' 2-1 loss to San Antonio on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Rasmussen has been pretty good this season (six goals, 20 points in 29 games) considering he missed nearly two full months from mid-November to mid-January due to injury. Considering the fact Rasmussen played 62 games with the Wings last season, combined with the fact Detroit has already been eliminated from playoff contention, make it increasingly likely the 20-year-old will see time at the NHL level before the season is over.
