Rakell (upper body) has been activated from IR and will play in Tuesday's home game versus Columbus, Eric Stephens of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rakell has missed the last six games, but he felt good enough following Monday's practice to slot back in. The 26-year-old has compiled 10 goals and 15 helpers through 36 games, and he'll work in the top six as well as the power play.

Rakell (upper body) is still considered day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's clash with Columbus, NHL.com's Dan Arritt reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rakell practiced Tuesday morning, so he's clearly trending in the right direction, but he'll have to wait for Thursday's matchup with Dallas for his next chance to rejoin the lineup. Once he's given the green light, the 26-year-old forward will return to a top-six role and a spot on one of Anaheim's power-play units.

Rakell (upper body) isn't expected to play Sunday versus the Predators, Elliott Teaford of the Orange Country Register reports.

Rakell (upper body) is nearing a return but won't be in the lineup against Arizona on Thursday. Coach Dallas Eakins told reporters Rakell has "one last little hurdle he's got to get over," Elliott Teaford of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Ducks promoted Chris Wideman from the minors Thursday and may opt to place Rakell on injured reserve but it won't affect his potential return date since he has already missed the Ducks' previous four contests. Once the Swede is given the all-clear, he should return to a top-six role.

Rakell (upper body) won't be in the lineup against Vegas on Tuesday.

Rakell (upper body) isn't expected to play in Sunday's road clash with New York, Eric Stephens of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rakell picked up the injury in Saturday's game versus the Islanders, and had that injury classified as an upper-body issue Sunday. In his stead, Daniel Sprong was called up from AHL San Diego and will draw into the lineup. Luckily for the team and Rakell, they'll head into the holiday break, as their next matchup isn't until Friday with the Golden Knights.

Rakell is dealing with an undisclosed injury suffered in Saturday's game versus the Islanders, Eric Stephens of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rakell saw only traces of ice time in the third period and none in overtime. The Ducks called up Daniel Sprong from AHL San Diego, which indicates that Rakell might have to miss at least Sunday's game versus the Rangers. Including Rakell, the Ducks have five regular forwards currently injured.

Rakell picked up three assists in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Rakell tied his NHL career high with the three assists. He has five points, including four assists, in his last four games and that's moved him into second in team scoring with 24 in 33 games. But he's only potted nine goals. Rakell is on a 60-point pace, but his goal scoring is down from the 33 and 34 he put up in 2016-17 and 2017-18. In fact, his production has shifted quite dramatically. He used to score more goals than assists. But this is the second -straight season where that trend has flipped. This bears watching -- Rakell's value is obviously higher if he's sniping. You may need to consider trading him in keeper formats if the trend continues. Before someone else figures it out.
