Rasmussen scored on his only shot in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

This was an empty-net tally for Rasmussen that was more difficult than it had to be since Flyers defenseman Keith Yandle tossed his stick in the forward's path. Nonetheless, Rasmussen managed his sixth goal and 16th point of the season, and the Wings swept the two-game series against a Flyers team that has been a particularly tough opponent for them.

Rasmussen opened the scoring for the Red Wings in their 5-3 loss to the Kings on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Rasmussen tracked down the puck on a rebound and potted his fifth goal of the season. The third-line pivot has struggled defensively -- that minus-18 rating is an eyesore -- but he shouldn't have trouble reaching new career highs in the attacking zone by season's end.

Rasmussen provided an assist in a 3-2 shootout win over the Penguins on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Rasmussen helped Filip Zadina out on the power play in this one, giving Detroit a 2-1 lead heading into the third period. The 22-year-old had not scored a point over his last four games before this one, and has just four points in 12 January contests.

Rasmussen scored on a breakaway to cap off a 4-0 win over the Sabres on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Rasmussen was a handful for the visitors; in addition to his goal, the burly pivot committed two tripping penalties and was also whistled for roughing, only for the Sabres to get shut down on the corresponding power-play opportunities. Rasmussen has four goals and nine assists through 37 games this season, which is not enough to move the needle in fantasy leagues, but he'll draw more attention if he continues to play aggressively and takes advantage of that 6-foot-6, 210-pound frame.

Rasmussen notched an assist, two shots on goal, three hits, two blocked shots and two PIM in Sunday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

Rasmussen logged the secondary assist on Vladislav Namestnikov's third-period tally. It was Rasmussen's second helper in his last three games. The 22-year-old forward is up to 12 points in 34 contests, matching his output from 40 appearances last season. He's added 56 shots on net, 43 hits, 32 blocked shots, 22 PIM and a minus-11 rating in 2021-22, playing mainly in a middle-six role.

Rasmussen has exited the COVID-19 protocols, according to Ansar Khan of MLive.com.

EDGE Analysis

Rasmussen was placed in the protocols Dec. 15 and completed the 10-day quarantine before being able to return. While it remains to be seen if he'll be available for Wednesday's matchup against the Islanders, Rasmussen's return shouldn't make a big impact across most fantasy formats. He only has three goals and 10 points across 29 games in 2021-22.

Rasmussen, along with Robby Fabbri, was placed in the league's COVID-19 protocols Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

With Rasmussen and Fabbri unavailable, the Wings will likely have to recall a player from the minors or utilize seven defensemen versus the Hurricanes on Thursday. In his last five contests, Rasmussen was having one of his most productive stretches of the season with two goals, one assist and 11 shots over that stretch.

Rasmussen secured the game-winning goal against the Islanders in Tuesday's 2-1 home clash.

EDGE Analysis

Rasmussen was aggressive and determined in the low-scoring affair, and the hard work paid off as the third-line pivot managed to get one of his five shots to fall. Drafted ninth overall in 2017, Rasmussen remains a steady option for an Original Six club hoping to return to the playoff stage after a short rebuild. In addition to his three goals and seven assists, Rasmussen has compiled 27 blocked shots and 34 hits as a sign that he's committed on both ends of the ice.

Rasmussen notched an assist and two PIM in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Rasmussen won a faceoff back to Adam Erne, who set up Filip Hronek for the Red Wings' first goal. The 22-year-old Rasmussen didn't have a great game at the dot, going 5-for-15 on faceoffs. He's provided a little secondary scoring with eight points in 25 contests. The Canadian center has added 35 shots on net, 31 hits, 22 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a minus-4 rating while filling a third-line role.

Rasmussen scored a goal in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Rasmussen gave the Red Wings a 2-0 lead early in the second period. It was the 22-year-old's first goal of the campaign -- he's been more of a set-up man in a third-line role so far. The Canadian forward has collected seven points, 25 shots on net, 18 hits, 16 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through 17 appearances.
