Rasmussen logged an assist, two shots on goal and four hits in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Coyotes.

EDGE Analysis

Rasmussen hasn't scored through eight games in January, but he's managed three assists across his last two outings. The 23-year-old saw a season-high 19:59 of ice time Tuesday -- he's bounced around the lineup a bit, but he's typically maintained at least a middle-six role. He's up to 20 points, 69 shots on net, 92 hits, 33 blocked shots, 29 PIM and a minus-5 rating through 41 contests.

Rasmussen picked up two assists in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Both points came late in the game after the Red Wings has already fallen into a 5-0 hole. Rasmussen has flashed upside worthy of the ninth overall pick in the 2017 NHL Draft, but the 23-year-old still hasn't found much consistency with Detroit. He's been held off the scoresheet entirely in 14 of the last 20 games, managing four goals and 10 points over that stretch.

Rasmussen scored a third-period tally during a 4-2 win over the visiting Senators on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Michael Rasmussen stole the puck from goalie Cam Talbot and scored into an empty net, marking the Red Wings' third, third-period tally during a key 1:55 stretch. The 23-year-old center continues to thrive on the first line, collecting seven points, including three goals, during his past five outings. Rasmussen contributed three hits and two shots in the win.

Rasmussen contributed two assists in a 5-4 overtime win against Pittsburgh on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Rasmussen got a helper on each of Detroit's final two goals, including the overtime winner. He has six goals and 17 points in 31 contests this season. The 23-year-old is on fire, providing two goals and seven points in his last three games.

Rasmussen scored two goals and dished out two assists in Wednesday's 7-4 win over the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

Rasmussen knotted the score at 2-2 with 28 seconds remaining in the opening frame before helping out on Dylan Larkin's go-ahead goal in the second. In the third period, he assisted on Larkin's second goal of the game, then scored again into an empty net. The 6-foot-6 Swede has spent most of his career up to this point in a bottom-six center role, but with all of their injuries to top-six forwards, the Red Wings are currently deploying Rasmussen as a first-line winger. Rasmussen has capitalized on the opportunity with five points in his last two games and could be worth a look as long as this increased usage persists. His line with Larkin and David Perron combined for five goals and 10 points in this one.

Rasmussen scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

Rasmussen opened the scoring early in the second period, beating Andrei Vasilevskiy from the slot. The goal was Rasmussen's first since Nov. 23 snapping a five-game scoring drought. The 23-year-old center is up to four goals and six assists through 23 games. While he may not score at a high rate, Rasmussen plays a consistent, physical role in Detroit's middle-six.

Rasmussen posted an assist and three hits in Thursday's 7-4 win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Rasmussen did the work down low before setting up Jake Walman's blast of a shot for the Red Wings' third goal. The helper gave Rasmussen points in consecutive contests for the second time this year. The 23-year-old center has two goals, six helpers, 20 shots on net, 42 hits, 18 blocked shots, 14 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 15 contests. He looks like a solid fit on the third line, though his fantasy usefulness likely remains limited to formats that reward his physicality.

Rasmussen scored a goal on three shots, logged four hits and added two PIM in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

Rasmussen tallied late in the second period to give the Red Wings a 2-1 lead. This was the 23-year-old second goal of the season, and it snapped his five-game point drought. He's up to seven points, 20 shots on net, 39 hits, 18 blocked shots, 14 PIM and a minus-4 rating in 14 contests. The big-bodied center should continue to work on the third line, though his physical play could earn him some interest in deeper formats.

Rasmussen has finished serving his two-game suspension for high sticking Boston's David Krejci.

EDGE Analysis

Rasmussen will be eligible to return to the lineup Thursday against Washington. The Red Wings returned Givani Smith to the minors Tuesday to clear up a roster spot. Rasmussen has one goal, four assists, nine blocks and 19 hits in seven games this season.

Rasmussen was suspended for two games by the NHL for high-sticking Boston's David Krejci on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Rasmussen received a minor penalty for high-sticking on the play while Krejci suffered an upper-body injury and will miss Boston's game against Columbus on Friday. The incident began with Rasmussen delivering a body check, but then Rasmussen turned back towards Krejci, which resulted in Rasmussen's stick hitting Krejci in the head. The NHL argued that Rasmussen's use of the stick was reckless. Rasmussen will be eligible to return Thursday against Washington. He got off to a strong start with a goal and five points in seven contests despite averaging just 13:45 of ice time, so his absence will be felt by Detroit.
