Michael Rasmussen - NHL News & Rumors

Deposits goal Thursday Rasmussen scored a goal in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.

Impact Rasmussen has started slow on offense, but he's showing signs of heating up. The 27-year-old forward has a goal and two assists over his last four games, accounting for all of his offense on the year. He's added 11 shots on net, 20 hits, nine blocked shots and a minus-4 rating through 10 appearances. Rasmussen is getting power-play usage this season while skating on the third line at even strength. Fantasy managers will need to see a bit more from him on offense before picking him up.

Skating on second line Thursday Rasmussen (lower body) was skating on the second line during Thursday's practice session to begin training camp, Max Bultman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Rasmussen missed the end of the 2025-26 campaign due to a lower-body injury, but he appears to have moved past the issue during the offseason. It seems unlikely that he'll face limitations stemming from his previous injury leading up to Opening Night. Across 64 regular-season appearances last year, he recorded six goals, eight assists, 64 hits and 63 blocked shots while averaging 12:39 of ice time.

Hasn't resumed skating Rasmussen (undisclosed) hasn't resumed skating yet and could be at least another 7-10 days away from return to the lineup, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports Tuesday.

Out for at least one week Rasmussen (undisclosed) will be unavailable for at least one week, per Taylor Baird of NHL.com on Saturday.

Impact It's unclear when Rasmussen will be available to return to the lineup.

Rasmussen has six goals, 14 points, 64 shots on net, 57 blocked shots and 62 hits through 61 outings this season.

MARCH 14 • ROTOWIRE

Cold on offense Rasmussen's point drought reached 19 games in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Panthers.

Impact This is the low point of the season so far for Rasmussen, who skated a season-low 7:43 in Friday's loss. The 26-year-old is on the fourth line and plays a decent physical game, but he won't be a factor in fantasy without a little offense. He has just 14 points with 61 shots on net, 59 hits, 52 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating through 58 appearances.

MARCH 7 • ROTOWIRE

Scores shorthanded goal Rasmussen tallied a goal and served two PIM in Monday's 5-3 win over Ottawa.

Impact Rasmussen doubled Detroit's lead late into the contest, as he scored a shorthanded tally with just over seven minutes left to put the Wings up 5-3. Overall, he is up to six goals, 14 points, 42 shots on net, 40 hits and 28 blocks across 39 appearances this season. His points this season have come in bunches, with his most recent goal bringing him to five points in his last seven games.WHile he's currently off the pace to reach 100-plus hits for the fifth consecutive year, a strong second half to the regular season could help him crack certain deep fantasy leagues that value banger stats.
