Rask dished out an assist in 7:32 of ice time in Saturday's 4-3 loss to Carolina.
EDGE Analysis
Rask finally got back on the scoresheet, nabbing his first point since Oct. 14. He's been a non-factor from a fantasy perspective this season, only notching three points and skating in 9:24 of average ice time in 11 games. Coach Bruce Boudreau has planted Rask on the fourth line for much of the year through the first 20 games, so don't expect Rask to be a reliable fantasy option for the time being.

Rask (lower body) is in the projected lineup for Thursday's matchup with Nashville, NHL.com's Robby Stanley reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rask has missed Minnesota's last three games with a lower-body injury, but he took rushes on the Wild's third line during morning skate, which was the first sign that he'd likely be an option against the Predators. The 26-year-old has notched two points in three games this campaign.

Rask (lower body) will not be in the lineup when the Wild face the Oilers on Tuesday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rask missed Sunday's win over the Canadiens and will miss a third straight game Tuesday when Minnesota faces off with Connor McDavid and the Oilers. Head coach Bruce Boudreau said Rask could return to practice Wednesday. If so, he has a good chance to suit up in Nashville on Thursday. Expect another update on Rask's status to come following Wednesday's practice.

According to coach Bruce Boudreau, Rask (lower body) could resume skating Monday but won't play Sunday against Montreal, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rask's next opportunity to get back into game action thus comes Tuesday against Edmonton. The Swede was skating limited minutes before getting hurt, but Rask had still managed to generate a goal and an assist through three games.

Rask (lower body) won't play Thursday against Montreal, Sarah McLellan of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Wild have yet to release any details regarding the severity of Rask's injury, but for now, he can be considered day-to-day ahead of Sunday's game against the Canadiens. The 26-year-old forward has notched one goal and two points while averaging 9:47 of ice time in three contests this season.

Rask missed Thursday's morning skate due to a lower-body injury, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Wild have yet to shed any light on Rask's status for Thursday night's matchup with Montreal, but he should be considered questionable at best at this point. If he's unable to go, Kevin Fiala will draw back into the lineup.

Rask scored a goal on his lone shot of the game in Monday's 2-0 win over the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
Rask broke a scoreless tie midway through the third period Monday, stealing a puck in the offensive zone and sniping one from the bottom of the left faceoff circle. The 26-year-old was a healthy scratch last Thursday, but has hit the scoresheet in each of his two games since with an assist Saturday and a goal Monday. Still, he saw limited ice time in those two games and registered just one shot on goal in each of them.

Rask was a healthy scratch for Thursday's loss to Nashville.
EDGE Analysis
Rask is clearly out of Minnesota's near-term plans, but he'll stick on the roster mostly because of the six-year, $24 million contract he signed in 2016. He's likely to be inactive most nights barring injuries.

Rask will likely make the Wild's Opening Night roster as the 13th forward, Michael Russo of TheAthletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Despite entering the fourth year of the six-year, $24 million contract he signed in 2016, Rask is on the roster bubble. He scored just three points in 23 games after being traded to the Wild last season. If he does make the roster, he may be a healthy scratch most nights.

Rask lit the lamp in Tuesday's win over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Rask entered this game pointless in 15 consecutive outings, but he capitalized on a shot from a sharp angle to put the Wild up 3-0 in the first period. The 26-year-old will likely continue to center the second line for the remainder of the regular season.
