  • Red Wings' Michael Rasmussen: Goals in back-to-back games

    Rasmussen scored a goal on three shots, added two hits and blocked two shots in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Sabres.

    Rasmussen's offense is coming around -- he has three points over his last four games. The 25-year-old opened the season with no points in the first four contests. He continues to bring a physical edge in a bottom-six role, adding 17 hits, five blocked shots, nine shots on goal and a plus-2 rating over eight appearances. Rasmussen's power-play time has been inconsistent, so his scoring ceiling is low if he can't secure at least second-unit minutes.

  • Red Wings' Michael Rasmussen: Fills empty cage

    Rasmussen scored an empty-net goal and added two hits in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Devils.

    The goal was Rasmussen's first of the season. The 25-year-old is up to two points, six shots on net, 15 hits and a plus-3 rating through seven contests. Rasmussen is likely to remain in a bottom-six role for most of the season, offering a bit of secondary scoring along with decent totals in hits and PIM.

  • Red Wings' Michael Rasmussen: Provides helper in win

    Rasmussen posted an assist and two hits in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Predators.

    Rasmussen got on the scoresheet for the first time this season, setting up Andrew Copp on Detroit's second empty-netter. Through five appearances, Rasmussen has produced five shots on net, 10 hits, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating. The 25-year-old forward plays a physical game, but his ice time is down by more than two minutes per game compared to 2023-24, which will make it difficult for him to repeat his 33-point campaign from last year.

  • Red Wings' Michael Rasmussen: Ready to go

    Rasmussen has recovered from his upper-body injury that forced him to miss the last seven regular-season games in 2023-24, according to Max Bultman of The Athletic.

    Rasmussen is practicing alongside Andrew Copp and Christian Fischer at the opening day of training camp Thursday. He ended last season with a career-high 33 points in 75 regular-season appearances. The 25-year-old is expected to see third-line duty in 2024-25 along with being an integral part of the Detroit penalty-killing unit.

  • Red Wings' Michael Rasmussen: Remains unavailable

    Rasmussen (upper body) has yet to resume skating ahead of Monday's matchup with Montreal, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

    At this point, with the Red Wings ending the year with a back-to-back versus the Canadiens, Rasmussen figures to be a long shot to play in Tuesday's contest. That would be the 24-year-old's seventh game missed due to the upper-body issue. If Detroit doesn't make the playoffs, Rasmussen will end the year having notched 13 goals and 20 assists in 75 games this season.

    Rasmussen also missed Friday's tilt against the Rangers. He has a career-high 33 points in 75 games this season. Coach Derek Lalonde said Saturday that Tuesday versus Washington "might be a little aggressive" for Rasmussen's return to the lineup, per Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press.

  • Red Wings' Michael Rasmussen: Unavailable for Friday

    Rasmussen won't play Friday against the Rangers because of an undisclosed injury.

    Rasmussen is regarded as day-to-day beyond Friday's action, so he still might be an option Sunday versus Buffalo. The 24-year-old has 13 goals, 33 points, 47 PIM, 124 hits and 76 blocks in 75 appearances this season. Daniel Sprong might draw into the lineup due to Rasmussen's absence.

  • Red Wings' Michael Rasmussen: Supplies two helpers in home win

    Rasmussen recorded two assists in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Islanders.

    Rasmussen extended his point streak to four games with the big forward supplying five apples over that span. He dealt with an illness leading up to Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blue Jackets, but unlike last year, Rasmussen still hasn't missed a game in the 2023-24 campaign. He's earned 13 goals to complement a career-high 20 assists and plus-13 rating through 70 contests.

  • Red Wings' Michael Rasmussen: Expected to play

    Rasmussen (illness) took line rushes during warmups, indicating he'll be in the lineup Tuesday versus the Blue Jackets, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

    Rasmussen was considered a game-time decision earlier in the day, but it looks like he's good to go. With the 24-year-old expected to play, Jonatan Berggren is likely to sit out as a healthy scratch. Rasmussen has a career-high 30 points through 68 games.

  • Red Wings' Michael Rasmussen: Questionable Tuesday

    Rasmussen is under the weather and a game-time decision Tuesday at home against Columbus.

  • Red Wings' Michael Rasmussen: Ties career high in points

    Rasmussen earned an assist in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Sabres.

    Rasmussen put pen to paper on a four-year, $12.8 million contract extension in February, more than doubling the AAV of his previous deal with the Red Wings. Thanks to his helper from Saturday's victory, Rasmussen has tied his 2022-23 output of 29 points, and he needs just one more goal or assist for a new career high. Unfortunately, the bar is not set very high for Rasmussen in fantasy hockey, as his power-play services are no longer required, plus the team is sending him to the ice in the defensive zone 62.3 percent of the time. He's already blocked 69 shots and committed to 119 hits as another clear indication of where his value lies.

  • Red Wings' Michael Rasmussen: Playing versus Buffalo

    Rasmussen (undisclosed) will be in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Sabres, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Rasmussen exited Saturday's loss to Vegas late in the third period with an undisclosed issue, but whatever forced him from that contest evidently wasn't overly serious. The 24-year-old forward, who's collected 13 goals and 28 points through 64 contests this season, is expected to fill his usual third-line role Tuesday.

  • Red Wings' Michael Rasmussen: Two points before late exit

    Rasmussen (undisclosed) scored a goal and added an assist Saturday versus the Golden Knights before departing late in the third period with an injury, Daniella Bruce of the Red Wings' official site reports.

    There was no update on Rasmussen's status after the game. He snapped a four-game point drought with his two-point game, which gives him 13 goals and 15 assists through 64 outings overall. The Red Wings' next game is Tuesday in Buffalo, and an update on his status should be available before that contest. If he can't play, the Red Wings could dress seven defensemen or call up a forward from AHL Grand Rapids.

  • Red Wings' Michael Rasmussen: Two-point afternoon

    Rasmussen scored the game-winning goal and added an assist in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Blues.

    The 24-year-old snapped a five-game point drought with his first multi-point performance since Jan. 17. Rasmussen remains on pace for modest career highs this season, delivering 12 goals and 25 points through 57 contests, but his fantasy value is still limited in most formats.

  • Red Wings' Michael Rasmussen: Inks four-year contract

    Rasmussen signed a four-year, $12.8 million contract extension with Detroit on Tuesday.

    Rasmussen is in the final season of a three-year, $4.38 million deal. The 24-year-old forward has 11 goals, 23 points and 74 shots on net through 55 games this season.

  • Red Wings' Michael Rasmussen: Sneaks in helper against Vegas

    Rasmussen managed an assist in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Golden Knights.

    Rasmussen continues to trend toward a career-best season based on 10 goals, 12 assists and a plus-13 rating. The fifth-year power forward isn't a factor on the man advantage, but he's snuck in a shorthanded goal and three shorthanded assists, which can largely be attributed to his career high in defensive zone start percentage (62.5).

  • Red Wings' Michael Rasmussen: Two points in OT win

    Rasmussen scored a goal and added an assist in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Panthers.

    The 24-year-old got the Red Wings on the board in the second period by tipping home an Olli Maatta point shot, and Rasmussen then set up Robby Fabbri for the tying tally early in the third. It's the first multi-point performance in over a month for Rasmussen, but he's been a steady contributor the last few weeks with three goals and six points in the last nine games. Wednesday's goal was his 10th of the season, marking the third straight campaign in which he's reached double digits.
