Penguins' Rickard Rakell: Two more points in overtime win
Rakell scored a goal on two shots, dished an assist, added two PIM and went plus-3 in Thursday's 5-4 overtime win over the Predators.
The top line of Rakell, Sidney Crosby and Bryan Rust accounted for four goals and 10 points in a stellar performance. This was Rakell's fourth multi-point effort in his last six games, a span in which he has recorded five goals and five assists. The 31-year-old is up to 15 goals -- matching his total from last year -- with 11 assists, 81 shots on net, 62 hits, 35 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 34 appearances this year. Rakell's career highs are 28 goals and 60 points in 2022-23, which is the only year he's played all 82 games. He could best both of those marks if he stays hot on Pittsburgh's top line.

Penguins' Rickard Rakell: Ends nine-game goal drought
Rakell scored a power-play goal Tuesday in a 3-2 OT loss to the Lightning.
Rakell dropped to one knee for a one-timer from the right circle off a pass from Sidney Crosby. The marker ended a nine-game goal drought and six-game point slump. Rakell is a complementary depth fantasy play who could find himself in another uniform before the deadline. Beware that move -- the winger is in the best fantasy position of his career, and he certainly won't skate with Sid-lite in another city.

Penguins' Rickard Rakell: Two apples in loss
Rakell chipped in two secondary assists, one of which came on the man advantage, in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Islanders.

Penguins' Rickard Rakell: Buries goal in loss
Rakell scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.
Rakell scored in the third period to cut the deficit to 3-2, but the Penguins couldn't tie it up. Head coach Mike Sullivan has shuffled wingers all around his top six, but Rakell looks set to stick alongside Evgeni Malkin on the second line. Rakell has a goal, four shots and four hits through three contests this season, and he is notoriously streaky on offense, which could give his fantasy managers some heartburn throughout 2024-25.

Penguins' Rickard Rakell: Scores goal Wednesday
Rakell scored a goal on three shots in Wednesday's season-finale loss to the Islanders.

In 21 post-deadline outings, the 30-year-old Rakell garnered six goals and four assists. Despite the late surge, Rakell still missed the 40-point threshold for just the second time over his last nine seasons.
