Rask notched a goal and two assists (one on the power play) in an 8-6 win against the Canucks on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

He's racked up six points in the last three games now, continuing his widely expected breakout campaign. A 48-point man last year, Rask is averaging nearly two more minutes of ice time this season and is correspondingly on pace to clear 60 points with room to spare. The 23-year-old Swede is proof positive that even a subpar Carolina offense can produce valuable fantasy assets.

Rask contributed a pair of helpers in Saturday's loss to the Sharks,

EDGE Analysis

Rask fired six shots on goal and continues to produce for Carolina. He's floated around the depth chart, but the 23-year-old now has nine goals and 21 points in 28 games, becoming a fantasy weapon in the process. Rask has struck three times on the power play and is firing the puck on net often, so his production should continue. Given his increased role with the Hurricanes and consistent point production through the year, the rising sniper is worth inserting into your lineup every game.

Rask scored a goal and collected an assist during a third-period comeback over the Canadiens on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

After a four-game point drought, Rask has bounced back with three goals and an assist through his past four outings. He's up to seven goals and seven helpers with 35 shots on net through the first 16 games of the season, and Rask should be owned and started in the majority of fantasy leagues. He's also a sneaky daily option in the right matchups.

Rask scored a goal for the second consecutive game Saturday against the Capitals. He also fired a season-high six shots on goal.

EDGE Analysis

Rask now has 12 points in 14 games and is on pace to easily surpass the 48 points he recorded last season. One reason to believe Rask's scoring surge will continue is the massive amount of ice time he's seeing -- his TOI was 20:14 Saturday against the Caps, the sixth consecutive time he has skated in excess of 20 minutes. Make sure you keep him in your fantasy lineups to capitalize on his current hot streak.

Rask registered two assists -- one on the power play -- and a plus-2 rating during Friday's 3-2 win against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Rask has shown an improved game through seven games this season, notching four goals -- two on the power play -- and five assists. The 23-year-old sits with Jeff Skinner as the top point-getters on Carolina to date. The two linemates are feeding off each other's play and turning the top line into a threatening combination alongside veteran Lee Stempniak. Ride the youngster with confidence as he progresses towards a career campaign.

Rask dished out two helpers in Tuesday's 3-2 road loss to the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

The 23-year-old Swede set up both of linemate Lee Stempniak's goals at even strength, which came less than a minute apart in the third period. Rask now has points in all three games this season and is off to a great start in pursuit of besting last year's 48-point career high.

Rask scored a power-play goal in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

The 23-year-old Swede also went 8-4 in the faceoff circle, which won't impact as many fantasy owners as the goal but is impressive nonetheless. Rask had a great sophomore season last season, racking up 21 goals and 48 points (both career highs), so he'll surely be leaned on this year to lead the charge for an offensively challenged Canes squad.

Rask (shoulder) is set to return to action following offseason shoulder surgery, Chip Alexander of the Raliegh News & Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rask continued to impress, not only with his grit and determination playing through a significant injury, but also his ability to write himself on the scoresheet. During the 2015-16 campaign, the center reached career highs in goals (21), assists (27), and PIM (24) along with five game-winning-goals. If the 23-year-old is not on your fantasy radar, you may want to consider giving him another look leading into your draft.

Rask (shoulder) has agreed to terms on a six-year, $24 million contract with the Hurricanes, NHL.com's Brian Compton reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rask took a big step up in his second NHL season, tallying 48 points (21 goals, 27 assists) in 80 appearances, after recording 33 points (11 goals, 22 assists) over 80 games as a rookie in 2014-15. He did have shoulder surgery in May, but the Hurricanes expect him to be healthy prior to the start of the upcoming campaign. After mostly splitting time between the second and third lines last season, the 23-year-old Swede should be back in the mix for a top-six role.

Rask was tendered a qualifying offer from the Hurricanes on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

The Hurricanes have long believed they would retain Rask for at least another season, with GM Ron Francis reaching out to Rask's agent about a month ago inquiring about a new contract. By offering him the qualifying offer, the Hurricanes can match any offer Rask sees on the open market, so it seems likely he'll remain with the organization. Rask posted career-highs of 21 goals and 27 assists in his second season with the Hurricanes and has plenty of upside at just 23 years old.
