Canucks' Aatu Raty: Puts away first goal of season
Rotowire
Raty scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Predators.
Raty also won 10 of 13 faceoffs, leading the team with a 76.9 percent win rate in the game. The goal was his first point since his season debut Oct. 9. The 22-year-old center can help his own cause by being strong at the dot in a fourth-line role. He's also added a physical element with 27 hits, eight shots on net, four PIM and a minus-2 rating in addition to his two points over 10 appearances.

Canucks' Aatu Raty: Sent to AHL
Rotowire
Raty was reassigned to AHL Abbotsford on Wednesday, Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com reports.
Raty has three goals and seven points in eight appearances with Abbotsford, as well as an assist in seven outings with Vancouver in 2024-25. He might be recalled before Thursday's game against the Islanders. Vancouver also sent Arshdeep Bains and Jonathan Lekkerimaki to the minors Wednesday, which leaves the Canucks will just nine healthy forwards on their active roster. Vancouver did that for salary cap reasons, but the squad will presumably summon forwards to fill that gap before Thursday's matchup.

Rotowire
Raty was recalled from AHL Bridgeport on Saturday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.
Raty was selected 52nd overall in 2021, but he was considered a top-three pick heading into his draft year, so there is a lot to like about the Finn. Raty has two goals in seven NHL games this season, and he's picked up seven goals and 15 points in 27 AHL games.

Raty has appeared in seven NHL games this season in which he recorded two goals, 10 shots and four PIM while averaging 8:25 of ice time.

Islanders' Aatu Raty: Makes most of limited minutes
Rotowire
Raty scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Canucks.
Raty logged just 6:15 of ice time, but he was still able to make an impact on the fourth line. The 20-year-old has tallied twice in his first five NHL contests while adding eight shots on net and a plus-2 rating. His limited playing time will keep him off the fantasy radar for now -- he's likely to head back to AHL Bridgeport once the Islanders get some forwards back from injury.

Islanders' Aatu Raty: Joins big club
Rotowire
Raty was called up from AHL Bridgeport on Thursday, per CapFriendly.
Raty will get a chance to continue his training camp with the Islanders. He'll likely be in the lineup Thursday versus the Devils, and there's a chance the 19-year-old could make the Opening Night roster. He's seen time on the power play during the preseason, which bodes well for what head coach Lane Lambert thinks of the center prospect's game early in the campaign.

Islanders' Aatu Raty: Seeing time on power play
Rotowire
Raty has been spending time on the second power-play unit for the Islanders, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.
Raty is one of the top prospects in the organization for the Islanders. That being said, it's highly unlikely that Raty would start the season with the team. The 19-year-old has been impressive and certainly has a future with the club, but that future won't start in October. His best chance to play with the Islanders will likely depend on when and how many injuries occur to current members and if they struggle to score goals as the season rolls along.
