Rakell scored twice on six shots in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Rakell twice pulled the Ducks even in the contest, and his tally in the shootout was enough to secure the win. With the two-goal game, the Swede has racked up seven points in his last seven outings. The 28-year-old is often streaky on offense, but he's hot right now, so he needs to be on most fantasy rosters. For the season, Rakell has 14 goals, 25 points, 121 shots on net, 49 hits and a minus-2 rating through 43 appearances.

Rakell scored a goal on two shots in Monday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Rakell went from a 21-game goal drought to tallies in consecutive games with his second-period marker Monday. He's scored two of the Ducks' last three goals, though the rest of the offense hasn't followed his lead lately. The Swede is up to 10 goals, 20 points, 103 shots on net, 39 hits and an even plus-minus rating in 38 appearances. His offense tends to come in bunches, though the All-Star break could kill his momentum, as the Ducks are off until Feb. 11 versus the Kraken.

Rakell notched a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
Rakell set up Sonny Milano's second-period tally, which served as insurance for the Ducks. The 28-year-old Rakell saw his goal drought extend to 11 games, and he's picked up a meager four assists in that span. The Swede can be streaky, and the Ducks missing a number of their regular forwards puts extra pressure on him to produce. He's at 14 points (four on the power play), 71 shots on net and a minus-1 rating through 26 outings.

EDGE Analysis
Rakell snapped a four-game point drought when he helped out on Hampus Lindholm's first-period tally. The 28-year-old Rakell can often be streaky on offense, but he's been solid this year with 13 points and 66 shots on net through 22 contests. He's shown good chemistry with Trevor Zegras and Sonny Milano on the Ducks' second line.
