Rickard Rakell Starting To Find Scoresheet Again
6 years agoAnaheim Ducks forward Rickard Rakell buried a goal in his team's lopsided 8-2 defeat of the Montreal Canadiens on Friday. With his third-period marker, the 25-year-old has now picked up at least one point in his past four contests - showing signs of the player that potted 34 goals last season. Overall, it's been a trying season for the talented Swede who missed over a month due to an ankle injury back in December. Despite continuing to be a high-volume shooter (2.7 shots per game), Rakell has seen his shooting percentage get cut in half in 2018-2019 at just 7.2% (14.8% last season). He's still receiving prime minutes in Anaheim so hopefully this recent hot streak is a sign of good things to come for fantasy owners that have remained patient with him throughout the playoffs.
