Ties career high in points Rasmussen earned an assist in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Sabres.

Impact Rasmussen put pen to paper on a four-year, $12.8 million contract extension in February, more than doubling the AAV of his previous deal with the Red Wings. Thanks to his helper from Saturday's victory, Rasmussen has tied his 2022-23 output of 29 points, and he needs just one more goal or assist for a new career high. Unfortunately, the bar is not set very high for Rasmussen in fantasy hockey, as his power-play services are no longer required, plus the team is sending him to the ice in the defensive zone 62.3 percent of the time. He's already blocked 69 shots and committed to 119 hits as another clear indication of where his value lies.

DECEMBER 8, 2023 • Associated Press

Impact Both were tip-ins. Rasmussen got his stick on a Daniel Sprong shot at 12:51 of the second, and he did it again 13 seconds later on a Ben Chiarot shot. The two goals were part of a three-goal flurry in 49 seconds that forced Mackenzie Blackwood from the net. Rasmussen has put together a three-game, five-point streak that includes three goals. The big pivot may never live up to his ninth overall draft billing, but he may become a steady, complementary fantasy scorer if he can keep this up.

Impact Rasmussen nearly had a shorthanded goal after he intercepted the puck and stormed toward the cage in the first period, but it went down as an assist after his teammate, Christian Fischer, cleaned up the play with a backhand sweep. Early results show that Rasmussen has been a laggard offensively for a Red Wings team that leads the Atlantic Division with 86 total goals. He's produced two goals, five assists and a plus-6 rating through 23 games. Of course, Detroit retooled approximately half of its roster in the offseason, so Rasmussen might just need some extra time to see where he fits in.
