Rickard Rakell Racks Up Three Assists On Saturday
5 years agoAnaheim Ducks winger Rickard Rakell figured into each of his team's three goals in a 4-3 shootout defeat of the New York Rangers on Saturday, collecting three assists in the victory. The 26-year-old banked two of his three helpers on the man advantage and also added three shots and five hits in 21:18 of ice time. After registering just eight points in 14 October games, Rakell has really picked up his play since November 1st - finding the scoresheet with regularity with his 16 points (six goals, 10 assists) in 19 games since. While that kind of point production is respectable at the least, the Swedish native adds value in fantasy hockey with his added strong peripherals, as showcased by his plus-six rating, 95 shots on goal and 41 hits in 33 games. Rakell is a top-100 asset in most fantasy formats and should be active in lineups when his Ducks take on the Flyers up next on Tuesday.
