Shaken up after hits Rasmussen (undisclosed) didn't finish Tuesday's game versus the Bruins, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

Scores late equalizer Saturday Rasmussen scored a goal in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Bruins.

Impact Rasmussen was the hero for the Red Wings after tying the game at the 18:06 mark of the third period with a tip-in. Unfortunately, the Red Wings couldn't complete the comeback and ended up losing in the shootout. Rasmussen has four goals this season, and as a player who skates in the fourth line and the top penalty-killing unit, he's not expected to deliver a ton of fantasy production on a regular basis.

Impact Rasmussen was a healthy scratch in the Red Wings' previous game Sunday versus the Blackhawks after going without a point in five straight contests. He's now gotten on the scoresheet in the game after each of his two scratches this season. The 26-year-old has four points, 15 shots on net, 13 hits, 11 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 15 appearances. His inconsistent playing time further lowers his already-minimal fantasy appeal.

In addition to his two points, Rasmussen has three shots on net, four hits, four blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through four appearances this season.

Posts power-play assist Rasmussen notched a power-play assist, three blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche.

Impact Rasmussen has a goal and an assist over 10 contests since returning from a head injury. The 25-year-old has been on the first line for the last two games, which may help ignite his offense down the stretch if he stays in that spot. For the season, he's at 18 points (four on the power play), 88 shots on net, 120 hits, 50 blocked shots and a minus-10 rating through 66 appearances.

Grabs first goal since return Rasmussen scored a goal, took five shots on net, dished two hits and blocked two shots in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Red Wings.

Impact Rasmussen lit the lamp in the third period of Friday's contest, marking his first point since his return from a head injury. Overall, he is up to 10 goals, 17 points, 84 shots on net and 113 hits in 61 appearances this season. The 25-year-old center is currently on the fourth line and back to his role of bringing physicality to Detroit's bottom six. While his fantasy value has a low ceiling, Rasmussen could be a good add in banger leagues down the stretch if he can find the goalscoring consistency he found last month.
