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.

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.

The 30-year-old Rakell is up to 26 points, 116 shots on net, 78 hits and a minus-2 rating through 47 appearances.

Penguins' Rickard Rakell: Two-point effort Sunday
Rakell produced a goal and an assist in Sunday's 7-6 win over the Flyers.
After helping to set up a Sidney Crosby tally in the first period, Rakell potted a goal of his own in the third. The 30-year-old remains erratic, but skating alongside Crosby at even strength gives him some fantasy ceiling. Bryan Rust's upper-body injury from Sunday could make Rakell's spot on the power play more secure. Rakell has delivered three multi-point performances in the last 10 games, but has just one goal and seven points over that stretch.

Penguins' Rickard Rakell: Makes most of first-line gig
Rakell notched two assists, two shots on goal, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Blackhawks.
Rakell had been on the third line lately, but he was moved to the first line alongside Sidney Crosby with Jake Guentzel (upper body) out for four weeks. It was a good audition to stay in that role, as Rakell helped out on both of Crosby's tallies Thursday. Rakell has gone 12 games without a goal, recording just a trio of two-assist efforts in that span. He's at 20 points, 90 shots on net, 58 hits and a plus-3 rating through 39 appearances, though the 30-year-old is capable of going on extended hot streaks.
