Rakell scored two goals on a team-high eight shots with a plus-3 rating in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Both his tallies came in the second period, helping the Penguins build a 4-2 lead, but they couldn't solve Ilya Sorokin in the third. Rakell has three goals and five points over the last two games, the first time all season he's had back-to-back multi-point performances, and a spot alongside Sidney Crosby has the 29-year-old winger surging toward his first 30-goal campaign since 2017-18.

Rakell scored a goal, added two assists, went plus-2 and logged two PIM in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Rakell had a pretty full stat line in a game where the Penguins' top line accounted for all of the team's offense. He scored in the first period and then helped out on both of Jake Guentzel's tallies later in the contest. Considering Rakell had just one assist over his last five games, this was a big performance. The 29-year-old forward is up to 19 tallies, 17 helpers, 157 shots on net, 85 hits and an even plus-minus rating through 53 outings.

EDGE Analysis

Rakell began the game on the second line, but a shuffle during the contest saw him pick up first-line minutes in the third period. He set up Sidney Crosby's goal late in the final frame, though it had no impact on the result. With just three assists over seven games since his last goal, Rakell's offense has gone a bit sluggish. The 29-year-old is up to 13 tallies, 11 helpers, 116 shots on net, 65 hits and a plus-5 rating through 38 contests.

EDGE Analysis

A recent move to the top line has helped keep his offense steady. The winger has eight tallies, five assists, 58 shots on net, 35 hits and a plus-12 rating in 19 contests overall. That's right in line with the scoring pace he displayed after coming over from the Ducks at the trade deadline last season.
