Rakell (upper body) scored a goal on five shots and played 18:54 in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Rakell immediately returned to a top-six role, and he was able to get the Ducks on the board 5:47 into the second period. The Swede has been finding the net fairly well in 2021-22, racking up five goals in nine games. He doesn't have an assist yet, which is troubling, but he should remain heavily involved in the offense as long as he doesn't enter a point drought.
