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.

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

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.
