Rakell had an assist, one shot, one block and two hits in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Canadiens.
The newly assembled top line gave the Penguins their first lead of the game. Rakell and Evgeni Malkin forced a Mike Matheson turnover, which led to Rakell's assist on Sidney Crosby's tally late in the first period. This line has been responsible for four of the five goals the Penguins scored during a modest two-game win streak. Rakell has a team-high six goals along with three assists, 34 shots, 22 hits, 12 blocks and a plus-5 rating through 13 appearances.
