Rickard Rakell Out Thursday
3 years agoPittsburgh Penguins winger Rickard Rakell (lower body) won't be available for Thursday's meeting with the Rangers. His postseason got off to a miserable start after he managed to skate just a handful of minutes in Game 1 before getting hurt on a hit by Ryan Lindgren. Rakell collected 13 points in 19 regular-season appearances for the Penguins and he had solidified his spot in the top six ahead of the playoffs. Jason Zucker (lower body) could replace Rakell in the lineup on Thursday, with the team considering him a game-time decision for the contest.
