Rickard Rakell Joins Evgeni Malkin's Line
3 years agoPittsburgh Penguins winger Rickard Rakell will join Evgeni Malkin and Bryan Rust on the second line Friday against the Rangers. The former Duck takes over from Danton Heinen, who is dropping to the third line. Rakell has gone pointless in his first two outings for the Penguins with four shots and five hits, but he now finds him in a superb spot to kick into gear. Malkin has heated up with goals in three consecutive games and Rust has been playing very good hockey throughout the campaign, averaging a career-high 1.21 points per game.
